Popular Cheetah Girls schedule a second show
By Wayne Harada
Advertiser Entertainment Writer
Seats for the first show were snapped up in the first hour of sales last weekend.
Curtain time is 4 p.m., targeting the young girl market that has helped make The Cheetahs' books, recordings and TV movies a roaring success.
Cheetah Girls — Adrienne Bailon as Chanel, Kiely Williams as Aquanetta, and Sabrina Bryan as Dorinda — will be making their Hawai'i debut. A fourth member of the ensemble — Raven-Symone as Galleria Garibaldi — will not be part of the show.
The Cheetah Girls emerged as characters in Deborah Gregory's series of 16 books that told the story of a girl group trying to make it. Disney acquired the film rights, made two made-for-TV movies and the fictional band became a certified national touring act. A third movie and album are expected next spring.
Tickets — $39.50 and $29.50 — now are on sale at the Blaisdell box office and at Ticketmaster locations, including Times Supermarket locations. To order by phone, call (877) 750-4400. To purchase tickets online, go to www.ticketmaster.com.
