Social Pictures: Opening night of Dirty Dancing at the Bord Gais Energy Theatre

Earlier this week, a host of well-known faces stepped out on the pink carpet for opening night of the highly anticipated musical, Dirty Dancing.

On Tuesday 5 September, it’s safe to say that each and every attendee at the opening night of Dirty Dancing the musical had… the time of their lives.

Spotted taking to the carpet on the night was Laura Nolan, who showed off her new short hair style, Rosie Connolly, Tara O Farrell, James Patrice and his sister Vanessa, Barbie dancer Adam Fogarty, Joy Porto, and Zara Paolozzi, as well as Erica Cody and Soule.

The musical explodes with heart-pounding music, breath-taking emotion and sensationally sexy dancing. The stage production, inspired by the hit film, comes to life before your eyes with this fantastic, emotional and triumphant live show.

Featuring the hit songs ‘Hungry Eyes’, ‘Hey! Baby’, and ‘Do You Love Me?’, Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story On Stage follows the iconic story of Baby and Johnny, two fiercely independent young spirits from different worlds, who come together in what will be the most challenging and triumphant summer of their lives.

Take a look at all the social snaps from the night through our gallery below…
