Interview: Bryony Whitfield

What do you remember from watching the film for the first time?
The music, Baby’s curly hair and the iconic Patrick Swayze lift.  

How does Dirty Dancing compare to the other musicals you’ve done?
With most musicals the story is told through song, where Dirty Dancing is scripted and the music creates the atmosphere.

What’s your favorite song in the show?
“Time of My Life” is the highlight of my show. There is such an electric energy on and off stage. 

What’s your inspiration, what made you start dancing and acting?
I always loved dancing and singing as a little girl, but when I saw Cats in London with my grandma when I was eight, I was hooked.

Any advice for anyone who wants to go into performing and dancing?
Hard work and dedication will always pay off. If you sow good seeds you will reap the rewards. Don’t take short cuts. It’s always worth putting in the time and love.

Dirty Dancing is on through Jun 16 at MasterCard Theatres at Marina Bay Sands®.
