5 OUT OF 5: DREAMS COME TRUE AT EASTSIDE STORIES SHOWCASE  REVIEW | CHASING DREAMS
***** By Rebecca K Muttu Chasing Dreams, a play put together by music event students (DV8) about living up to your own expectations and following your dreams was much more than I expected. Jay (played by Jermaine), a youngster takes a turn for the better after losing a close friend but discovers that not everyone is supportive of the new life he has chosen to lead. Not to mention his girlfriend finds out she’s pregnant! The show also features sensational acts from Double S and Chipmunk, Evolution music, Frisco and Tor. Chasing Dreams includes a rather touching poem by Cashman (former music event student) which had the audience agape followed by a roar of applause and cheering. Although majority of the cast were first time performers the show was huge success. The crowd was live and gave excellent response and the Fusion team rated the show 5 stars. If there is a must see for summer 2008, then this show is definitely it! Chasing Dreams is a fantastic show, a great mind opening experience encouraging the youth to follow their dreams and leave street life behind. VOICE OF THE PEOPLE The Fusion team also had a chance to hear from the public and find out what they thought about the show. “It’s a good vibe, we like it. We’re just trying to support what other people are doing and so we’re here at Chasing Dreams representing” Double S and Chipmunk “ The show is live, it’s something different. A bit of an urban musical.” Fatish “ The show is live. Every performance has been great!” J.R. “Chasing Dreams shows that people can come together and do positive things, telling the youths to forget about street life and do some positive things” Naija Boy “It’s all about chasing your dreams. Do you thing. I really like what Double s and his crew are doing. I also have seen some good performers. Jay-man is did well with his acting” George (a member of the audience) “ The show was sick!
