Dreamgirls (Preview Show) @ Istana Budaya KL (13/7/11)
LOCAL DREAMERS ALL SET FOR ANOTHER SMASH HIT

Dream team one - Azura Zainal, Faradina Mohd Nadzir, Cheryl Samad & Ruzana Ibrahim
Judging from what we saw at the media preview held at Istana Budaya in Kuala Lumpur, last night, we are quite certain that The Broadway Academy's staging of Dreamgirls is destined to be another smash hit in the local musical theatre scene. The locally produced Malaysian premier of the multi award winning Broadway musical, which is directed by Joanna Bessey and choreographed by Michel Xavier Voon, with musical direction by producer Casey Koh, opens tonight and will end on 24th July 2011, after an eleven day run.
The opening show saw Malaysian Idol runner up Faradina Mohd Nadzir taking on the role of Effie White, with popular host and actress Cheryl Samad playing Deena Jones, while TV host Azura Zainal & singer-actress Ruzana Ibrahim, bringing life to Loretta Devine & Michelle Morris' characters, respectively, with a total of eight different female leads interchanging as members of DREAM, with chanteuse Elvira Arul slipping into Effie's character tonight. The male leads are played by film & TV star Tony Eusoff (Curtis Taylor Jr), American actor Kris Coleman (Jimmy Early) & Akademi Fantasia's Dafi (C.C. White).
Full story & complete pics coming up.
