Syesha Mercado Beginning “Dreamgirls” Run

On November 22, 2009, former American Idol contestant, Syesha Mercado, will be embarking on a national tour of the musical, Dreamgirls. 

Syesha has been cast in the role of Deena, which was brought to the big screen by Beyonce Knowles a couple years ago.  Of course, Syesha’s fellow Idol alum, Jennifer Hudson, is probably most associated with the film version since she won an Oscar for her magnificent portrayal of Effie White.

Syesha was on the Wendy Williams show last week.  Here’s a video of her appearance.
