ORIGINAL partners from ITV1's Grease is the Word, Michael Quinn and Vicky Hoyles, will be reunited in the UK tour of The Music of Dirty Dancing.

Michael, 24, and 22 year old Vicky will open the show at the Bristol Hippodrome tonight, featuring all the songs from the hit film including: (I've had)The Time Of My Life, Stay, Do You Love Me?, Be My Baby, Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow, Big Girls Don't Cry, You Don't Own Me, She's Like The Wind, and In The Heat Of The Night.

Backed by an eight-piece band the songs will be performed by a full company of singers and dancers.

Dirty Dancing has become a cult favourite since Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey first starred in the hit 1987 film.

It won critical acclaim, Golden Globes and the soundtrack topped the charts with the theme tune, (I've Had) The Time Of My Life, winning an Oscar for best original song and becoming one of the era's most performed songs and a ubiquitous radio staple.

Now, in this thrilling concert all the songs from the enduringly popular film are performed by a full company of sensational singers and dancers and backed by an eight piece band.

Anyone who has ever sung along to these classic hits will be swept up in this evocative mix of feel-good tunes.

Where in the world can you get such a great combination of old and new and enjoy it so much?

That's what The Music of Dirty Dancing offers: a little bit of something for everyone. The original movie without the music would have just been a movie - but it's the music that made it a hit.
