BWW Reviews: DREAMGIRLS Dazzles in Cincinnati
by Jill Siekman - June 10, 2010
While it's not quite the famed Apollo Theater in New York City, 'The Dreams' are playing at Proctor & Gamble Hall at the Aronoff Center now through June 20th and they give an amazing performance. 'The Dreams' are the girl group from the 1960's who struggle to make it big and then struggle with what happens when they do make it in the Broadway musical Dreamgirls. Effie White (Moya Angela) is the powerhouse of the trio, always taking the lead. That is, until they start to gain some notoriety as backup singers for Jimmy 'Thunder' Early (Chester Gregory) and their manager, Curtis (Chaz Lamar Shepherd) decides to place a more camera and press-friendly Deena (Syesha Mercado) front and center instead. Rounding out the trio is Lorrell (Adrienne Warren), who is often the peacemaker of the group. In between songs, the story eventually winds around several interconnected relationships between the characters and some interesting clash of personalities as well.
