Director Paul Morrissey says he is blown away by the talent in Sri Lanka.

Morrissey, who is in Colombo for West End’s smash hit musical, La Bamba, said that he was particularly impressed by the young talent.

A number of local actors were taken in after auditions, to appear in the musical in Colombo.

Sri Lanka is working with the creative team which Paul Morrissey says has created a multicultural and unique experience.

Presented by City of Dreams Sri Lanka and John Keells Foundation, La Bamba arrives in Colombo for the first time — for a limited run only.
