From start to finish, you’ll be singing along and having a wonderful time. I loved the dazzling dresses and wonderful showtime costumes; it was a real treat for my eyes. The whole cast is amazing, but a special mention has to go out to the incredible Nicole Dennis, who plays the iconic role of Effie White. Her credits include Dear Evan Hansen, Dreamgirls (West End production), and finalist on ITV’s The Voice in 2019 where she wowed viewers and judges singing And I’m Telling You I’m Not Going with team mentor Jennifer Hudson. When she closed the first act singing “And I’m Telling You I’m Not Going” the whole room was up on their feet, clapping her. It was so emotional and just so wonderful to witness last night.

Three women in matching blue dresses perform on stage, each with one arm raised and the other bent above their head. The background features geometric staircases and a blue-lit backdrop, creating a vibrant, theatrical atmosphere.
