Dust off your dancing shoes and grab a watermelon! It’s the first performance of DIRTY DANCING at the West End's Phoenix Theatre tonight, returning for a Christmas run in London before another UK tour in 2017. We’re sending lots of #stagey love to everyone and rounding up our top ten countdown-to-opening tweets from #StageFaves cast members...

We've enjoyed seeing the show posters appear around town as much as Beth Highsted, Lewis Griffiths and Megan Louch...

Congratulations too to Simone and co for finding a parking space in the West End. Who paid the congestion charge?!
