I'm always surprised how much Michael's death upsets me. I never knew him, he was dead before I heard of him, but I feel like I knew him. Heartbreaking
If you wanna get technical, the Dreamgirl on the left was not the original. Her name is Terry Burrell and she replaced her real-life sister, Debbie Burrell, who originated that role.

Donna is in great form for this....20+ years AFTER she originally did the work! Saw both shows on Broadway --- life changing!
Actually about 12-13 years, as the show opened in April 1975 and this memorial took place in September 1987.
