Yea I agree.... the plot line is surrounded by racial tensions in detroit..the whole reason effie got fired is because she looked "too black" it really can't be done with white actors.... well it can be but it takes a massive chunk out of the story line...you really can't deny it especially since it was based on motown. but it was a great effort
Though Dreamgirls was about one of the most successful African American Girl Groups in America, the Supremes & any other African American Girl Group of that time, this play showcased how black music had to change in order to meet white standards & to crossover to white audiences, so that part of the message is lost in a white cast of actors, but again, if anyone knows the significance of the play can overlook the mostly white cast here.
I could stretch...I guess...to handle a white Effie, but could she have been a little, um, bigger? Isn't her size mentioned, um a lot and isn't she also, uh, preggers?
I know this show is based on race, but a lot of "us" are posting comments about this girls being white, but honey she is OUTSING almost all you posting your high school video's of Dreamgirls. LETS BE HONEST THIS GIRL WHO EVER SHE IS (EFFIE) CAN SING AND CAN WORK ON BROADWAY RIGHT NOW !!!! VERY GOOD STRONG SOLID BELTER
Why did you skip through this scene I really enjoyed that girl singing. Is there anyway you can post the whole scene.? Loving the clips thank you for posting them.
Im not racist but this play does play alot on the color of there skin racism and how they had to fight there way before any radio station would play there songs because they were black.
Plus it just looks weird w/o a all black cast but yeah Effie was gud
this IS lachsa!!! My friend Danny was in this production! They really did a good job...I really enjoyed the mix they did at D-Tasc too...very slick. Usually their musicals arent this good.
Why don't you ignorant people say your opinion about the nice performance and the good voices instead of saying bullshit about the skin color??? I would like to see you up there ^^
Though I must say the quality was a bit poor, u should upload the entired "and I'm telling you" :D
yall so damn racist that white girl can blow she killin on dat stage shut the hell up if u aint got shit good to say she killin go head gurl u sound betta than most of all these people hattin on you
Brilliant! I don't know why there are complaints about the casting because this is brilliant! Everyone does a good job! Thanks again for putting this up! xXx
As a black male, I happen to be a fan of color blind casting, ESPECIALLY since it's a high shcool performance. With a show like Dreamgirls in a high school, I'd be more concerned about the vocals and this Effie can obviously SING so it's all good to me
um lol only 3 of them were white ahahaha and no one is taking anything away...i dont see anyone saying anything with blacks playing white roles???? yeah thats what i thought....these were some amazing performances thank you very much
I agree. And coming from a black person..it don't matter what color you are..why you gotta be a color just to play a part..this is the year 2007 people need to stop living in the past...Jennifer Hudson just won her Academy Award for her role in dreamgirls....so GO HER!!!
half your point is agreeable, but for the record this was just lacking, black white or purple! i too am in highschool, have done many performances, seen em too, this was just not up to par
Did you even know what Dreamgirls was before the movie came out? I think production puts a lot of productions of Dreamgirls I have seen to shame. That comment just shows how ignorant you are. It's high school production for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES.
wtf whats with the white people?

I guess the Broadway version was different from the Movie, because I don't remember Jimmy Early being at the "diva-swap" scene in the movie.
