I carried a watermelon?

UK supermarket giant Tesco have teamed up with Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story On Stage to celebrate National Watermelon Day on Tuesday 4 August by offering lucky shoppers the chance to win holiday of a lifetime to North Carolina USA, plus tickets to see the hit West End production at London’s Aldwych Theatre.

From Monday 27 July, Tesco supermarkets across the UK will be selling watermelons stickered with details on how to enter this incredible competition. On Tuesday 4 August, the first 100 people to arrive at the Aldwych Theatre before 10am with their Tesco watermelon (with proof of purchase) and recreate the classic line uttered by Frances ‘Baby’ Houseman - ‘I carried a watermelon?!’ - will receive 2 tickets for that night’s performance.

Tesco and Dirty Dancing are also running a nationwide competition in partnership with North Carolina Tourism to win an unforgettable holiday for two to the original “Dirty Dancing” movie locations. This dream holiday for two includes return economy flights, car hire and six nights in art deco city Asheville, in the heart of the mountains of North Carolina.

The prize also includes four tickets to see the London production of Dirty Dancing at the Aldwych Theatre, including a pre show dinner for four and an overnight stay at a 4* hotel in London.

50 runners-up will each win a pair of tickets to see Dirty Dancing at the Aldwych theatre.
