As much as I enjoyed DREAMGIRLS, I felt there was a lot lacking. Frankly, I found the novelization more fulfilling in a way. It covered a lot that the film didn't. If I'd had my way, I would've filmed the novel instead of the final screenplay.
Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiae
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra
Salve, Salve Regina
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
O clemens O pia
