Look who is going to be dancing onto theaters this summer?
Did I hear someone say Brenda Song? Yep, that’s right.
Brenda is one of the stars in the upcoming movie, Boogie Town, a modern take on the classic Westside Story.
Boogie Town will take place in a future New York City where illegal dance contests takes place in the underground world since battle dancing is outlawed. Along with Brenda, the movie stars Marques Houston (“You Got Served”), Vanessa Simmons (“Run’s House”) and newcomer Mykal Anthony Bean. It is being directed, written and produced by Chris Stokes of You Got Served and in-charge of choreography is Shane Sparks (“America’s Best Dance Crew,” “You Think You Can Dance”).
Looks like it’s going to be an exciting new year for Brenda (and her fans). The movie is expected to hit the big screen June 2009.
Note: IMDB for “Boogie Town” has not been updated with this info, so the character Brenda is playing is unknown, at the time of this writing. It’s most likely going to be the character Nathalie, the main character’s (Marques) love interest

Well that should be fun. My school’s drama club just did the original West Side Story play and it was pretty amazing. The girl who played Maria had an incredible voice. Anyways, I probably won’t see this movie, seeing as I’m not too big on modernizing classics, but lots of luck to Brenda. Seems like 2009 is going to be former Disney stars’ year. Or in her case current.
