I agree w/ you that there should be more of a contrast in Effie & Deena's weight. One thing I found out, though, is that Michael Bennett was less worried about Effie being heavy & than he was w/ Deena being smaller than Effie. This is seen in the '87 tour w/ Roz White & some of the Effie understudies. Anita Walker is the only person to have played every Dream in a professional production at any given time & she was about the size of the Effie in this production. Still a great performance.
Do you have Jimmy's last song? i can't remember what it's called, but I know it's the one where the other guys go, "Jimmy got, Jimmy got, Jimmy got old."
no they are not ALL white, effie lorrell and cc are white everyone else is black....deena is black, michelle is black, curtis, jimmy, marty, everyone else is black i guess u cant tell what ur own people look like?
for a white girl she can play a good effie i used to think only a black person can play that part but i was wrong however she could have put a little mor ump in one night only
lol i dont know what you mean by resting spot lol. she did anything but rest. if you know anything about singing and performing a lot of singers in musical theatre use what is called a mix, and she uses her mix in one night only.
is the girl playing Effie white? She's pretty good. However, that song needs more to it, something that only an african-american can bring to it. Pretty good production though.
You guys sure know how to put on a BANG UP production of Dreamgirls. I only wish the schools out my way were more daring.. although thanks to the advent of the movie, the show wouldn't probably go off as well. Still.. AWESOME performances.
Some more great performances here. The girls who play Effie and Deena are so good. I am off to watch your other videos now aswell! Thanks for posting! xXx
Wait you guys were in highschool during this production? The actors look so young

the only thing i don't like is that effie isn't that heavy, but i definitely she's just as good as any black girl who has done it.

That is EXACTLY what I thought. Use the talent and skills you were given and make the character all your own!
