Ahh, the joys of a young actress who auditions for the role of a lifetime. She stands in line and waits her turn. She’s feeling confident as she stands with thousands of hopefuls knowing that she has what it takes. She’s the total package, she can sing, dance, & act making her a triple threat. Finally it’s her turn, she auditions…SHE NAILS IT!! The producers/directors all excited to work with this new talent as they feel a sense of “We’ve found gold!” Just as she is walking out of the door, she hears executives say, “Honey, we are gonna make you a #STAR!
That’s what what happened for the cast of Lee Daniels new hit STAR. The show is about a girl group with big dreams of making it big in the Atlanta music scene. Main *Stars* playing lead character Star (Axiom) Jude Domorest, Alexandra (A Girl Like Grace) Ryan Destiny, Simone (Trophy Wife) Brittany O’Grady, & the shows first transgender (Cotton) Amiyah Scott. The cast also includes Actress/Rapper (Living Single) Queen Latifah, (Miss Congeniality) Benjamin Bratt, with legendary rocker & guest cast member, THE LENNY KRAVITZ!! And might I say Lenny is some kind of fiinne chile (wink).
The night was not only the screening and concert held at the Park Tavern-Atlanta, it was definitely a party! Some of your favorite stars came out & walked the red carpet such as Actress Vanessa Bell-Calloway (Coming to America, Tina Turner Story), (House of Payne) Actress/Singer Demetria McKinney, (Next Friday, Ray) Actor Clifton Powell (It’s Pinky), (Braxton Family Values) Actress/Singer Trina Braxton (Yaaaazuh)! (Fighting Temptations)Actor/Rapper Lil Zane, (Black Nativity) Jacob Latimore, & (Madea Goes to Jail, The Man in Room 3B) Actor/Singer Christian Keyes just to name a few. The carpet however, was all about the cast of Star, these ladies were very graceful and beautiful! You can tell the excitement and eagerness for the guest to view the show!
During the screening, you could hear the crowd clapping and cheering for the cast. You could see the excitement on everyone’s face as familiar faces appeared on the scenes. I dare not tell you who they are, but I will say this, there’s a particular character we were introduced to from the #RHOA (Real Housewives of Atlanta), and “bebe`” (in my nola accent) this person is serving and is quite hilarious (popslips and bats eyes)!! Oh my! The setup and the drama will leave you gasping and wanting more! Lee Daniels is on it for this show!
The after party was nothing short of fantastic performing & giving us vocal life was thee Sandy Redd! When I tell you she gave everything she had, this woman is phenomenal! Get to know her! Houston’s own Dondria, and Atlanta’s own Tasha Scott of XScape, just to name a few of the performers.
