How will ABC’s Dirty Dancing remake stack up to the original film? Here’s how you can watch Dirty Dancing live, on TV or via live stream.

The new Dirty Dancing comes to ABC on Wednesday, and the network is hoping that fans of the Patrick Swayze film will not only watch a remake, but a TV movie that purports to explore parts of the story the original movie didn’t get to.

Abigail Breslin (Scream Queens) replaces Jennifer Grey as Baby, while newcomer Colt Prattes takes over for Patrick Swayze as Johnny. ABC’s Dirty Dancing also stars Katey Sagal (Superior Donuts, Sons of Anarchy), Debra Messing (Will & Grace), Jennifer Lopez’s former backup dancer Casper Smart and Star Wars‘ own Billy Dee Williams. But will fans want to tune in?

Here’s how ABC officially describes the movie:

"The special three-hour filmed musical event features the story from the beloved 1987 romantic drama and instant movie classic told from a fresh perspective, diving deeper into the iconic characters, showcasing their progression and tackling social themes like race, women’s rights and the socio-economic division in the country at that time.Spending the summer at a Catskills resort with her family, Frances “Baby” Houseman falls in love with the camp’s dance instructor, Johnny Castle, and nothing is ever the same for anyone in the Houseman family.Modernized, updated versions of the memorable, favorite songs from the original film, including “Time of My Life,” “Love Man,” “Do You Love Me,” “Hungry Eyes,” “She’s Like the Wind,” teamed with well-known songs that are new to “Dirty Dancing,” such as “Fever” and “They Can’t Take That Away From Me,” are weaved into the storytelling and performed by the talented and versatile cast.Viewers will discover what happens to Baby and Johnny after that summer and more about the supporting characters from the original film. This fresh reimagining explores the relationship between Jake and Marjorie Houseman, Lisa’s goals in life and uncovers a fully realized character in Neil, with plenty of surprises in store."
