In The Spotlight - Jeanette Patrick-Cooper

How long have you been performing in shows
Not performing choreographing for a number of years

What got you interested in music / theatre
My mum started me dancing at the age of seven to get rid of some of my energy, and I was not allowed in the brownies as one week and my mum was told don't think its for jeanette. It was boring

What was your first show
Choreographed Cabaret for Greaspaint

What has been your favourite show and/or character and why
I love the part of Anita in West side story. Hard exterior but soft on the inside

What has been your most embarassing or funniest moment in a show
When I had to squeeze into Tania Smith can can dress to do the dance as she had hurt her back. I was a little larger than her to say the least

Describe the best and worst costumes you have had to wear
A horrible ginger curly wig and massive earrings

What has been your proudest moment
Watching my son go on stage! And doing Lync in Hairspray 💕

If you could choose any show to perform in, what would it be and why
42nd street! I love tap dancing

Do you have any plans to pursue theatre as a career
Think I'm a bit too old now! But love doing what I do now. And also watching the kids we have in Starlight move up into the older groups or even going down to London x x
