Amber Riley floors us once again in this clip for the upcoming production of Dreamgirls in London. The actress-singer will play Effie in the West End production of the beloved musical.
In the clip, Riley talks about taking on the role, sharing, “I think the thing that excites me about Effie and this role is that it’s challenging – vocally, emotionally. Even though she’s young in the beginning, she has this full arch and a full evolution that happens and I haven’t been able to experience that.”
Good morning! As promised, a special interview about my journey to Dreamgirls and a performance of “I Am Changing” https://t.co/ONccQeh2kn
