Quiana To Star in Raleigh Version of "Dreamgirls"

As many of you have found out through the boards, Quiana Parler will star in a version of Dreamgirls when the hit Broadway arrives in Raleigh next year.

WRAL-FM mentioned Clay this morning in their discussion of Quiana's role in the play, reports the CB's ncsupack88:

My best bud from college called me yesterday during her drive home from work in the RDU (Raleigh-Durham for thos not in the know) area. She asked me if I knew about Dream Girls coming to Raleigh and I knew she was getting at Quiana starring in the Raleigh production. She's been to all of Clay's Raleigh concerts but I don't think she would've known who Quiana was unless Clay was mentioned. I didn't think to ask her how she knew about it but last night I figured there was some sort of radio ad for the musical. Well I just heard it on WRAL-FM and when I heard them mention Dream Girls my ears perked up b/c I was waiting to hear if Q was mentioned. Sure nuff she was and I think they played audio of the person in that role singing "And I'm Telling You" (not sure if it was Jennifer Hudson or somebody else who has performed in that role in local theaters). As the song is playing they say something like "starring Quiana Parler as Effie (White??? Can't remember last name) STRAIGHT OFF THE JOYFUL NOISE TOUR WITH CLAY AIKEN!
