Its soundtrack generated two multi-platinum albums and multiple singles, including the Academy Award®-winning best original song “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life”. Grossing more than $213 million worldwide, Dirty Dancing captured the hearts of audiences everywhere.

In addition to Richmond, the Dirty Dancing in Concert tour will travel to 34 other cities in North America in 2022.
