Is Dreamgirls Still Coming in this season? — Page 3

Fred Mason said: "The original production of Dreamgirls was pretty bare bones, I actually think David Rockwell would be the right person to do the set as long as he’s given the proper resources. A glitzyDerek McLane set not needed"

Bare bones but brilliant. It allowed for seamless transitions from the view of front of the stage to the wings to the backstage. Maybe there is a director out there who could work with a set designer to come up with a different concept that would work equally as well, but that is just one of major challenges of doing a revival of Dreamgirls.  Btw, a few names that have been cited— White, Cruz and Stone would, imho, be much better choices. 

Fred Mason said: "Jerry Mitchell is the only one who should direct and choreograph this."

Because Black women are not capable of directing and choreographing their own stories?! Sounds about white. 

I bet Tommy Tune's vision for staging this would be brilliant!

 

My unhinged choice would be Jamal Sims
