Record-breaking musical Dirty Dancing is putting a spring in Liverpool's step thanks to its run at the Empire Theatre.

The show stars Lewis Kirk as Johnny Castle, Roseanna Frascona is carrying the watermelon as idealistic Baby Houseman, and Claire Rogers takes the role of Penny Johnson.

Following its successful run in 2012, the musical has returned to the Empire for a short run until April 25.
