Triple threat on stage NIELEN DE KLERK @nielendk

s a little girl, she dreamt of crowds cheering and watching in awe as she performed. She would give little performances in the lounge, entertaining anyone who would listen. And now, all grown up, Rushney Ferguson (29) is living proof that dreams do come true.

A review by Broadwayworld.com praises her strength as a “triple-threat” – singing, dancing and acting. Interestingly enough it was the dancing she says was the biggest challenge in the show.
