Aww, i actually saw this production 🥹 before they added Listen lol

She sound great but the acting is a little mediocre. Jennifer was a bit more animated when she sang her song. Nonetheless, not bad.

STEPPING‼️❗️‼️👏👏👏👏👏 *better in San Jose 😿

Some of men were flat and sharp all over the place. I know its not about them but it's still jarring.

This Effie is a perfect combination of Jennifer Holiday and Amber Riley

Going with the original Michael Bennett production! Love that.

Thank you so much for uploading this! What a Treasure ❤

This production is very good. The costumes are nice, and the actors/actresses are on point. Thanks for posting. 😊

1:39:35 what a shame the movie cut out Lorelle's "Ain't No Party" just to give Beyonce a couple of additional BS songs.

I don't know what some of you just watched. Maybe because I watched the entire production on my phone but Frenchie Davis just sang her ass off as Effie White. I saw the original national tour production in Chicago summer of 1984 with Jennifer Holliday reprising the role of Effie after winning the Tony. I have also had the pleasure of hearing Jennifer Holliday sing And I'm Telling You at two additional events, one of which they coerced her to sing a command impromptu performance with no rehearsal, sound check, or even a run through with the band and she still knocked it out of the park. She has literally sang this song at least a thousand times and it is still as perfect as she was on Broadway. I've also seen several summer stock, university productions, and regional performances of Dreamgirls. Frenchie White's vocals are the closest to Jennifer Holliday than anyone else I've seen, including Jennifer Hudson. Amber Riley came really close and deserved the Olivier Award she received for the original London West End production but Frenchie Davis managed to sustain notes even longer than the original. She has three of the hardest songs in the musical and was excellent in all of them.

Ramona Keller stood out to me the most! Period.

So what do we have here? An exact clone of Michael Bennett's production and his and Michael Peters' choreography. I hope both were credited thusly in the program. BUT, and it's a BIG but with these kinds of recreations - it lacks Mr. Bennett's precision - you can see it in every single number, but especially in Steppin' to the Bad Side. Set seems scaled down as does cast size, but that's not the issue. Effie, who needs to electrify doesn't. That's all there is to it. She has zero energy and that sucks the energy right out of the show from her first entrance. Precision is everything in this show, from the smallest to the largest role, to the way the show moves, pace-wise and every other-wise and that's the job of whoever replicated this. But so many replicators don't understand how to direct actors and call for precision. But fun to see the original staging in a better-shot video than the terrible video of the original production. But as terrible as that video is, what comes across in every second of it is the ELECTRICITY on that stage.

Marvelous!

Man Curtis Is So Toxic He Is Trying To Gets What's He Wants But Sealing Eiffie Songs And Putting Those Crimes On Eiffie She Did Not Commit It Was Curtis Ass. He Doesn't Give A Fuck About Eiffie Dreams And Deena's. Good Play 👏

Angela Robinson aka Veronica from The Haves and The Have Nots❤️

The one that played lorrell did a good job just wish that her and Jimmy did end up getting married

❤❤❤

Ramona Keller is the perfect Lorrell! Vocally and acting wise. Love her pingy soprano!

Frenchie has to be the most emotionless Effie in history

1:12:11 - "And I am Telling You I'm Not Going;"

I thought Frenchie understood the assignment 🤷🏽‍♂️

Nor impressed with Frencie's work in this role 😕

The one who played Deena should have played Effie. Her voice is much more powerful than the one who played Effie. To be honest, I was not impressed with her lyrical interpretation of the role of Effie

I love this production! Ramona Keller’s vocals are stellar!

This was the Pittsburg production of Dreamgirls! Filmed in August of 2004. Frenchie Davis - Effie White Angela Robinson - Deena Ramona Keller - Lorrell David Jennings - Curtis Taylor Jr Andre Garner - C.C. White

I remember it. I was BLESSED! to go to The LA Run Closing Night Party! 🍾🍸! WOW!

Is that Frenchie Davis?

Amazing story, I can't believe I never see in my life this is a great experience 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯🙌🏾🎊

Love...it....I saw this production in Pittsburgh at the time but was a diff Deena and Jimmy...Actually Billy Porter was Jimmy the night I was there...Awesome to see this!!!

Amazing, I was in highschool when this got fabulous reviews.

Frenchie 🤍
