Paul has been juggling his production role with a hectic schedule on stage in the supporting principal role of Squelch for the Australian production of Love Never Dies, the sequel to Andrew Lloyd-Webber's Phantom of the Opera.
Shaleena is enthusiastic about singing and dancing her way through this tribute to the girl bands of the 1960s.
"It's so much fun and everyone loves the music! I love it when the audience gets up and dances along with us," she says.
Apart from her role with The Supreme Dreams, Sydney-based Shaleena performs with some of Australia's premier live acts such as Paris La Nuit, Abba Lives, Jok Show and Shabby Chic.
Shaleena gained her Bachelor of Music Theatre degree via CQUniversity's Central Queensland Conservatorium of Music.
