Nos lo pasamos en grande al ponernos al día con Colin Charles, que interpreta el papel de Tito en Dirty Dancing. Hablamos de todo, desde el momento más surrealista de Colin en el escenario, qué personaje le encantaría interpretar y qué le hace sentir que la primavera está realmente aquí.
Q&A with **Colin Charles **
Colin: The most surreal moment of being involved in the show was actually recently, we did a live performance of excerpts from the show, which was broadcast live on This Morning! During the broadcast, my son, who is 2 years of age, was at his childminder’s and was watching the show on TV, so my son’s childminder decided to film his reaction when he first saw me appear on the television. After the broadcast she sent me the video which was delightful, to see a surprised and quizzical look on his before exclaiming “It’s Daddy! “ as the TV cameras moved into a close-up of me singing ‘Love man’.
Colin: Probably Billy as he also has some great songs to sing! Like ‘Still of the Night’ and ‘Time of My Life’.
Colin: Assuming you are meaning a scene from the show? It would definitely be to perform and sing ‘Time of My Life’.
Colin: Having played the role of John from Miss Saigon, I feel he and Tito would have had a lot in common as they’re both Black Americans and both ex-army, (In my mind, I’ve always felt Tito has an ex-army background) and both would have been around in that era, to partake and witnessed the historic events that changed America, as Miss Saigon and Dirty Dancing are written about events in the sixties!
Colin: When the sun comes out. Oh, and seeing the Daffodils spring up in my garden!
Colin: Sitting outside having lunch by the river and watching my little boy running around in the park!

Desde que tengo memoria, la escritura siempre ha sido mi pasión. Poder combinar esto con mi amor por el teatro ha sido una experiencia gratificante y estimulante. Realmente creo que hay magia en ver una historia cobrar vida en el escenario, y esto es lo que me gustaría promocionar al público.
