- Arts
Bethany McDonald is a Northern England-born actor, singer and dancer acquiring work across multiple platforms including film, television and stage to create a long and fulfilling career in the arts. She trained in England and Spain for four years in various well-respected musical theatre programmes, graduating in 2018 from the world-renowned London School of Musical Theatre with a Diploma and a Distinction in Professional Musical Theatre.
Soon after graduating from London School of Musical Theatre (LSMT), Bethany was thrilled to be selected as the principal role Annette in the Broadway musical "Saturday Night Fever" on board Royal Caribbean’s Liberty of the Seas from January to November 2019. She has also performed at the well-respected Off-West End venue Southwark Playhouse in London as the Supporting Artist alongside Christina Modestou (original Anne Boleyn in "SIX" on West End) in the original concert, "A Night at the Musicals."
During the pandemic, Bethany auditioned over self-tape for the brand new Off-Broadway musical, Mike & Mindy’s Wild Weekend Jam. The show is under the producing mentorship of two-time Tony Award-Winning Broadway Producer, Ken Davenport (Kinky Boots, Once On This Island), and the musical soundtrack has been created by members of the legendary Righteous Brothers (famously known for the worldwide hit ‘Unchained Melody’).
When Bethany is not performing, she loves playing drums and doing yoga. She also loves spending time with her nephews and drinking coffee. A lot of coffee. Bethany always believes that life is an exciting adventure and you will end up right where you are meant to be if you believe in yourself and take that leap of faith.
Music appears from the original musical "Brilliance" by Lance Lewman.
