Dreamgirls Live!!!

If you know me by now you would know that I am a lover of musicals, which is why when I heard Dreamgirls was coming live to stage, I fell on my knees. Then I heard Glee star, Amber Riley was taking on the role of 'Effie,' that made me even more excited. On the 28th November 2016 with one of my bestie's Elyce, I had the privilege of experiencing one of my favourite musicals. Dreamgirls. Everything about it was beautiful, everyone suited their part really well. Other than the gorgeous Amber Riley, my favourite character to watch was 'Jimmy Early' who was portrayed by Adam J Bernard he has such a great voice and gave me laughs throughout the whole performance.

Coming from an African background it was great to see people of colour taking the centre stage, because let's be honest in theatre there aren't many roles written for people of colour. Okay moving on to Amber Riley she slayed her role, couldn't be more happier for her. Her energy, enthusiasm, attittude was brought to life that even the audience were giving a standing ovation throughout the performance. Not once was there a dull moment, my eyes were peeled to the stage. There is no criticism to be made, only wish they included 'I love you I do' which is one of my favourite songs.
If your planning on traveling to London and would like recommendations on what places to visit, I recommend the theatre, and Dreamgirls especially because I'm not sure how long it will be running for. So now all I have to do is convince my bank account to buy another ticket, so I can watch it AGAIN NEXT YEAR!

Okay so totally didn't expect to bump into the cast at the end of the show but they were so lovely and even took a picture with me. This is Liisi LaFontaine who plays 'Beyonce's part' Deena. Was unable to get one Amber Riley but still managed to catch her presence. #Dreamgirl for life.
