hey hey! last week i had the opportunity to see dreamgirls live on stage – down at the ahmanson theatre – i cannot recommend the show enough – i was literally blown away – the production was excellent and the cast was amazing! (‘deena jones’ is played by american idol alum syesha mercado – she rocked along with moya angela who plays ‘effie’) i had been dying to see the show (it first opened on broadway in 1981) it totally surpassed my expectations – i actually liked it better than the 2006 film version (starring beyoncé and oscar-winner jennifer hudson) plus since it was opening night – there were loads of celebs in the audience – i spotted legend betty white – and angela bassett (who looked amazing) had to step over me to get to her seat – i was in heaven! if you happen to be in los angeles you cannot pass up the chance to see this show – it’s playing through april 4th – so you have plenty of time to get your ass downtown! popbytes over & out for now … xoxo
