The show that I saw seemed a little dated. At first watch, there were not many songs that jumped out and grabbed me, with perhaps the exceptions of "When I First Saw You" and "Hard to Say Goodbye, My Love/Dreamgirls". There was a good deal of witty lyrics, fun songs, and soul. It was a production unlike almost any I've seen before, with songs that were definately more soulful and pop-like than I'm used to. Looking back, Roz White's rendition of "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" was amazing; full, long, emotional, and a wonderful display her talents. La Tayna Hall was a great Deena Jones, and I enjoyed Napiera Groves, Darrin Lamont Byrd, Brian Evaret Chandler, Tonya Dixon, and Gary E. Vincent as Joanne, Marty, Curtis Taylor Jr., Lorrell Robinson, and C.C. White respectively. Keven Anthony was also wonderful as the outrageous James Thunder Early, a fun and great character. All in all, Dreamgirls is a worthwhile show to catch if possible; although still a bit raw and somewhat un-polished, I have no doubt that by it's Broadway opening, it will be worthy of a Tony nomination.
