According to Marc, Adam Shankman wanted very tall Dynamites, so he knew a sacrifice would be made -- odds of getting both things: tall black actresses for the 'look' AND them also being great singers was slim-to-none. That's what Marc was implying with Adam casting the 'right' people, as far as the look he wanted for The Dynamites.

Marc is also quoted as saying that Adam wanted "12 feet tall girls playing The Dynamites".

I don't think Harvey looked overly big in the show. I think Edna should be a very large woman. The whole point of the show is acceptance, with weight being a primary topic. Edna even sings about it, "I can't stop eating/Your hairline's receding..." etc. Something tells me a pleasantly plump woman would not say she can't stop eating...

I personally think it was a vanity issue. Travolta didn't want Edna to look too fat. I just think he was awful for the part. The character, the voice (which was AWFUL), the whole package just didn't work.

I don't even know how to respond to that comment bc it does not make sense and is completely random. The women who have played these parts on Broadway or any of the black female singing trios on broadway, or any of the stand by or understudies probably don't want to hear this........

"One came in as a huge oscar favorite to win best picture (dreamgirls) and turned out so bad that it wasn't even nominated. The other came in not as a serious movie with no Oscar expectation at all. However, the one coming in as the "non serious" non oscar contender is way better by leaps and bounds. The reviews say it too. Last I check Hairspray had a 93% fresh rating and dreamgirls had 78%, that's a pretty big difference."

You can't judge how good a film is by Rotten Tomatoes or the Oscars. Rotten Tomatoes said Munich was 59 % cream of the crop but it was nominated for best picture. So was it good or bad? It is all based on ones opinion.
