"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

ALSO - Wednesday on ACCESS HOLLYWOOD they have a huge Dreamgirls segment on the upcoming film.
In the teaser, they showed everyone except Jennifer Hudson in costume and even Jamie Foxx dancing from what looks like rehearsal footage of "Steppin To The Bad Side"!!!!

The thread title is misleading. It's like seeing a thread title that says "Hear Beyonce as Deena..." and then you open it and it says "... when the soundtrack comes out."

Sorry to disappoint. Soon as someone buys and scans you'll see it!

Before casting BEYONCE, center, in his big-screen version of the musical Dreamgirls, director Bill Condon had one worry: "I needed to know she could become a restrained, sedate character," he says. Once the singer proved she could put a clamp on the amps, Condon picked Tony winner ANIKA NONI ROSE, left, and American Idol's JENNIFER HUDSON to fill out the Dreams, a 1960s group loosely based on the Supremes. None of the stars has seen the 1980s musical, but no matter. The dramas that show-biz women endure are timeless."
So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space
And I'm surprised that Anika hasn't seen a production of Dreamgirls seeing as that she herself is a stage star. There seems to be a regional or community theater production of this show going on somewhere in at ALL times.
Ooooooh this is gonna be awsome! i'm so glad this show is finally getting the props it derserves! this musical is LEGENDARY and should have won the tony. talk about a revolutionary piece of theater! long overdue.
nice pic- jennifer looks nice like that! so, is that exactly how they'll look in the movie, or was that just a promotional sort of shot? looks good to me...
