Debra Messing cannot hide her excitement to be part of the upcoming remake of 1987 hit dance musical, Dirty Dancing. Find out what she has to say in reviving this classic!
Dirty Dancing: The Remake
It’s Debra Messing’s turn to dance!
“I sing in ‘(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life‘ and then I have a solo too. I’ll sing some of ‘Big Girls Don’t Cry,’”
Messing, who plays Baby’s mom, Marjorie, tells Us.
“I couldn’t believe it, I felt like I was in a parallel universe standing in a professional recording studio with one of those big microphones and the entire day, it was just me, singing! It was really heady. It was exciting – and scary! It was thrilling, I learned a lot!”
In the same interview of the actress with US Magazine, she mentioned that next week will be difficult because they will be focusing on dance.
“The choreographer, he choreographed the Broadway show, Hamilton. And that is unbelievable, it’s revolutionary really, Messing says.
“And I just sat in watching them doing the opening scene of the kids dancing – dirty dancing – when Baby walks in for the first time and is like, ‘Whoa!’ with the watermelon, you know? And I just got so giddy and excited! The movement and the music is just so iconic. And I have to dance as well so he said, ‘OK, when we get down to North Carolina we’ll work on your dance.’ And I was like, ‘Oh my goodness!’”
Also starring in this ABC’s most awaited remake of Dirty Dancing are actors Abigail Breslin and Colt Prattes. However, airing date is yet to be finalized. Tune in to CG for more upbeat and up close buzz on Dirty Dancing.
