Letitia Dean wowed fans on the first night of 'High School Musical: Live On Stage' at London's Hammersmith Apollo theatre on Saturday night (05.07.08).
Watched by celebrities including Kate Moss, Jason Donovan, Michael Ball, Fay Ripley and Linford Christie, former 'EastEnders' star Letitia proved she had what it takes to be a musical star with her performance as drama teacher Ms. Darbus in the stage adaptation of the hit Disney film.
Donning glasses and a variety of flowing outfits, Letitia plays the role - originally made famous by Alyson Reed in 'High School Musical' and 'High School Musical 2' - to perfection, and even gets to debut her vocal talents at the end of the show.
Speaking about the role earlier this year, Letitia said: "I'm so, so excited. I can't wait to get started. I adore musical theatre - I grew up loving shows like 'Calamity Jane'. But the last time I was actually in one myself was when I was 13 and in 'Annie'. So this is my chance to polish up what I learned in my youth.
"It's very nerve-wracking and I only hope I do the role justice. I've been working on my American accent and I'm getting there!"
Other stars of the show include Mark Evans and Claire-Marie Hall, who play lead characters Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez, and Rebecca Faulkenberry as lovable villain Sharpay Evans.
