      @@joycegirl7197 That's true to an extent. But there are some parts of the culture that should just be mainstream. For example, I knew Sheryl Lee Ralph sang as well as acted because of clips I've seen of her over the years. I didn't get that info from my parents... The first I knew of Loretta Devine was from Waiting to Exhale. While everybody was talking about W2E somebody could have said "You know she was in Dreamgirls too, back in the day"...

      By this time, Jennifer Holliday was doing the show on the first national tour. Her replacement was Vanessa Townsell was only with the show for a few months before she was replaced by Julia McGirt. I'm not sure when this was done when Vanessa or Julia was in the show.

      Omggggg Dream Girls was HUGEEEE on Broadway so much so everybody but the off key lady got careers. Sheryl went on to a TV show, "It's A Living" where her character was a waitress in New York trying to get a job on Broadway. Final episode she got a role in Dreamgirls as the lead lol. Loretta Devine had a show called Sugar & Spice where she was the a sassy sexy aunt who worked as a hostess in an upscale restaurant trying, you guessed it, to get a Broadway role. Jennifer Holliday went on to record albums, starting with her hit, "You're Gonna Love Me". No idea why they changed it to And I Am Telling You later. But they all (but that 1) became the toasts of the town

I was honored to play in the musical and to be apart of such a great story of African American Music Heritage. ow they were all so thin. I loved doing that production. I think there should be more musicals done. It is apart of the arts that as vanished away I think.

      The original play DID take from the supremes but it wasn't their biography set to music. They just took elements. Making the "prettiest " or favorite girl the lead when she wasn't the best singer, Effie being forced out like Florence Ballard & struggling with alcohol (og play touched on it, they left it out of the movie) Play initially was written with Effie dying like Florence but Jennifer Holliday fought for the character to live and prosper. It's just enough of the Supremes life that you recognize it but not so much they had to pay anybody
