  • Too bad they never put out a video of the full Originial Broadwas cast show. Looks like the scenes in this commercial were from a longer filming.

  • They did make a longer version that showed in New York City movie theaters back in the early 1980s. This shorter one was for television. I have seen the longer one posted on youtube.

  • The broadway version seemed to have alot more sparkle and glamour than the movie

  • It did. Act 2 opens with their Vegas Revue 5 years after Effie was kicked out (that is where the red dresses in the video come from). "One Night Only" had much more glamourous costumes. There is also another Dreams concert later in ACT 2 when Effie confronts Curtis. The girls wear silver gowns and only sing a few lines of "I'm Somebody", but it too adds to the glamour of the second act.

  • this ad looks more like a movie trailer than even the movie trailer did lol

  • Yeah, as much as I love Beyonce, her vice was way too good to fit the part of Deena Jones, however, Sheryl's was completely perfect!

  • I love DREAMGIRLS, had the honor of playing Effie and I tell you J. Holiday is one tough act to follow. Let me know what you think of my performances on my channel.

  • OMG.. I remember this commercial. I saw Dreamgirls on Broadway and to this day it is my favorite play of all time!!

  • OOoooooooppppppps comment was placed on wrong thread :-( Let me find them chicks the comment was intended for.

  • Not bad at all... however the act could've stood a LOT more choreograpics...

  • Why don't they make commercials this good for musicals anymore? This one was a little before my time but I remember watching it on a BETA video tape my bro had of various Broadway show clips. I'd rewind it and rewind it and watch it again and again. They were so exciting!

  • Obviously they have the entre filmed and in excellent quality...they really should release it...in fact they should have released it in 2006 to promote the film or in 2007 after its release when interest was VERY high...i really would have sold then

  • I would save money to go to NYC and view it. Forget seeing a Broadway show (I would love to but if i had the money to view this footage, it totally would skip out on seeing anything live....lol).

  • TOTALLY AGREE and thats just the way the original show was. It was groundbreaking in its use of cinematic scene and costume changes. So mad that I was born in the 80s and didnt grow up in them!

  • thanks for posting!!
