The show tells the story of Baby and Johnny, described in the ATG listing as two fiercely independent young people from different worlds whose lives come together during a challenging and triumphant summer. The production is a live theatrical staging, not a screening or tribute concert.

Songs featured include 'Hungry Eyes', 'Hey! Baby', 'Do You Love Me?' and '(I've Had) The Time Of My Life', performed by a cast of dancers.

Practical information

The total runtime is approximately two hours and thirteen minutes, structured as two acts of roughly 55 and 58 minutes with a 20-minute interval between them. The age guidance across all listed venues is 14+.
