Strange Choices for Audition Song?
Posted by: Dondunn 04:18 pm EDT 06/01/18

Just watched original film “Dirty Dancing” with Patrick Swayze, etc., and was struck by screenwiters’ knowlege of Broadway showtunes. In one scene Baby’s older sister tells daddy (Jerry Ohrbach) and the family that she plans to audition for a spot in the annual end-of-season talent show for the staff and guests at the Kellermans Catskill Mountains resort. Asked what song she plans to sing for the audition, she smiles and says, “‘I Feel Pretty’...or ‘What Do the Simple Folk Do?’”

I have always loved Kelly Bishop's line when watching Baby dance the finale "I think she gets this from me." To me, that's SUCH an inside joke between the Tony winning actors playing the parents.

The titles of the songs are perfect for insight into the character, even if they are not really good songs to audition with.
