Dirty Dancing is returning to the Palace Theatre Manchester in 2013.
During its run in December 2011, almost 100,000 people experienced the stage adaptation of the hit movie.
Manchester’s Paul-Michael Jones will continue to star as Johnny Castle, the role made famous by Patrick Swayze in the 1987 film.
Paul-Michael Jones represented his country as a Latin American and ballroom dancer in the world championships at Singapore, as well as taking on stage roles in Mamma Mia in the West End, the UK tour of Never Forget, and Fame and We Will Rock You across Europe.
American Jill Winternitz stars as Baby. She has a strong theatrical background, having trained at RADA before playing a wide range of roles including Ophelia in Hamlet, and the Prioress in The Canterbury Tales.
