Yesterday evening I was invited by one of the talented cast members Tosh Wanogho Maud from the ‘Dream Girls‘ to the Savoy Theatre in London. I am still buzzing and I absolutely loved every minute.
One of our autism charity Pineapple Arts Scholarship winners Sophia Owens aged 10. After the show she shouted ‘I want to see it again! ‘
Little Lucy Roberts sibling of our charity Patron Ryan Wiggins was six years old yesterday. We were lucky enough to meet the cast behind stage after the show where I spoke about our charity and they sang Happy Birthday to Lucy. What a special moment!
The Dream Girls stage was full of great singers, One of the singers Amber Riley is a notch above them all.
The first act closes with the amazing ‘And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going’ (a song that in the wrong hands could easily be And I Am Yelling at you..) Amber playing Effie’s massive voice rips through the auditorium, with the killer line: “You’re gonna love me” addressing it first to the man breaking her heart, then direct to the audience. “You’re gonna love me,” she roars again. And I certainly do love her!
