So I personally think they look alike in a way, I tweeted about it and the responses I got ranged from ‘U need a brain surgery’ to ‘OMG’ .So I’ve decided to throw this question out, is it just me or does Sound Sultan look like Johnny Depp??? I’ll love to hear your thougts!
Believe it or not,the 2006 movie which had every young person singing and dancing is coming to Nigeria and they are not just coming,they are in search of Nigeria’s version of Gabriella & Troy.When I first heard the news,I was in shock & I thought it was a joke but now its official.The show’s debut is scheduled to hold between March and May 2010 during which there will be Auditions(in Lagos & Abuja), callbacks, final selections, Rehearsals & training all the way to the show premier which is scheduled for May 27.
This is great news for all the little kiddos,well not neccessarily kids though as auditions are open to ages 15-25.Forgive me for not stating this earlier but the coming of this show to Nigeria is made possible by no other but the CEO of KidzTrust,Sheila Okonji Ashinze.In doubt as to if Nigeria can do something thats up to par with that done by Zac Efron & Vanessa Hudgens? Watch this cheorograhy which was done by Kaffy who is the Cheorograher for the show.
Here are some facts about the show
