Dreamgirls Is A Hit!
With a jam-packed calendar, I almost cancelled this event, but Im so glad that I didnt. Dreamgirls was simply wonderful! With all of the costume changes and the dazzling stage setting, this could have very well been a Broadway production. The dance numbers were great, but my favorite was the Step Into The Bad Side number. I was totally amazed that this production was so good. A talented cast of actors all around, but the actor who played James Thunder Early was hilarious and the actress who played Effie had a booming voice and loads of charisma! The play stayed true to the movie, but included a few nice changes of its own -- namely, the Listen song sang by Beyonce is now a duet between Effie and Deena. For a wonderful evening of theater, Id highly recommend this show. Its only playing a limited engagement at the Apollo theater, so get your tickets soon!

There's no doubt that the role of Effie White in the Henry Krieger-Tom Eyen musical Dreamgirls, now launching its national tour at the Apollo Theatre, is a star-making one. Just ask Jennifer Holliday, Lillias White, and Jennifer Hudson! But there's no guarantee that whoever portrays the fiery singer will end up as a lasting luminary in the firmament. Still, my money's on relative newcomer Moya Angela, whose intense, deeply-felt performance as Effie is the red-hot center of Robert Longbottom's enjoyable if slightly too cool revival of this timeless backstage musical.
Dreamgirls follows the fortunes of Effie and her friends Deena (Syesha Mercado) and Lorrell (Adrienne Warren) who are discover[...]
