NEW PRODUCTION OF DIRTY DANCING: THE MUSICAL
COMING TO THE FISHER THEATRE OCTOBER 13 - 18
[April 26, 2026] — ATG Detroit is pleased to announce that Dirty Dancing: The Musical – a new stage production of Lionsgate’s beloved film Dirty Dancing – will be coming to the Fisher Theatre October 13 – 18. Tickets will go on sale Friday, June 12 at 10:00 a.m. and will be available online at us.ATGTickets.com/Detroit
Set against the unforgettable summer of 1963, Dirty Dancing: The Musical follows Frances “Baby” Houseman as she discovers love, passion, and independence through her relationship with charismatic dance instructor Johnny Castle. The new production will deliver electrifying choreography, iconic scenes, the timeless songs audiences cherish, and the irresistible energy of the summer that changed everything.
Dirty Dancing: The Musical will be directed by Tony Award® nominee, Obie Award® winner, and two-time Emmy Award® winner Lonny Price (Sunset Boulevard, Sweeney Todd), who played Neil Kellerman in the original Dirty Dancing film, with choreography by Darrell Grand Moultrie (Fat Ham, Beyonce’s World Tour). Bringing to the stage the celebrated story from Eleanor Bergstein—the original screenwriter of the film—the musical captures the pulse, romance, and youthful urgency that have defined Dirty Dancing for nearly four decades. This follows Lionsgate’s announcement that the Dirty Dancing sequel starring Jennifer Grey – from producers Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson of The Hunger Games fame – will begin production this year.
With a fresh creative approach to the timeless love story, this new production aims to reconnect audiences with the heart, heat, and rebellious spirit that made Dirty Dancing a worldwide sensation.
Dirty Dancing is an enduring cultural phenomenon that began with the iconic film that grossed over $200 million at the worldwide box office and went on to launch two multiplatinum soundtrack albums, numerous #1 hit singles, won an Academy Award® for Best Original Song and a Grammy® Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. It has since inspired a television series, multiple competition reality shows, a prequel film, a stage production with sold-out performances around the world, a made-for-television musical adaptation, and an upcoming Lionsgate sequel film. The original film is one of Lionsgate’s all-time best-selling library titles. This new tour aims to honor that legacy while reinventing the live experience for a new era.
Dirty Dancing: The Musical is produced by Lionsgate in conjunction with The Path Entertainment Group & Showpath Entertainment, and Magic Hour Productions.
The creative team includes set design by Brett J. Banakis, costume design by two-time Tony Award® winner Linda Cho, lighting design by Japhy Weideman, sound design by Tony Award® winner Kai Harada, video design by David Bengali, and hair and wig design by Charles G. LaPointe. Casting is by The TRC Company / Claire Burke, CSA & Peter Van Dam, CSA, with music supervision and arrangements by Joseph Joubert. Alchemy Production Group serves as General Manager.
