Watch Dirty Dancing the TV Musical’s First Promo

All these remakes are driving me a little crazy especially when they redo the classic ones. There will be no one like Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing.

But, come May 24th the Dirty Dancing remake will premiere on AB

The TV remake tells the story from the original 1987 romantic drama, but from a fresh perspective. Abigail Breslin stars as Baby Houseman, who falls in love with bad boy dancer Johnny Castle (newcomer Colt Prattes). The film also costars Debra Messing (Marjorie Houseman), Bruce Greenwood (Dr. Jake Houseman), Nicole Scherzinger (Penny Rivera), Sarah Hyland (Lisa Houseman), Tony Roberts (Max Kellerman), Katey Sagal (Vivian Pressman), Billy Dee Williams (Tito) and J. Quinton Johnson (Marco).

This movie will dive deeper into the original characters and what happens to Baby and Johnny after the summer.

This version will also feature updated versions of the original film’s fan-favorite songs — including “Time of My Life,” “Love Man,” “Do You Love Me,” “Hungry Eyes” and “She’s Like the Wind” — and of course that signature line from the Patrick Swayze and  Jennifer Grey original: “Nobody puts baby in a corner.”

Dirty Dancing premieres May 24 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
