DREAM ON & MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE...

Pre-show with a packed audience

OH my, oh my, oh my. Consider yourself forewarned, the following is definitely PR to get YOU, your friends and family down to Milwaukee Rep's Quadracci Powerhouse Theater to have a wonderful evening of the award winning Broadway musical  DREAMGIRLS. You may have seen DREAMGIRLS on the big screen as I have but there's always something special about live theater and this show's cast is 'fantabulous' and talk about unbelievable pipes, these actors have the moves and can belt out a song and entertain. 

Saturday night's emotions ran the gamete and the full house of midwesterners actually were getting into it, clapping and swaying.  Holy moly. Not a common occurrence for this part of the country. They just couldn't help themselves. So much fun.

Natureman and I were lucky enough to be seated amidst a group of UW-Green Bay Theater Performance students and they were beyond ecstatic and appreciative about everything: Lighting, set, choreography, voice and instrumental performance, costumes, props and some say a familiar story line. Did I leave anything out? 

Where else can you see over 200 separate costumes, 76 pounds of sequins used, 25 yards of painted silk in the Vogue shoot, over 35 different wigs worn, a costume change in less than 15 seconds, 40 scene shifts,  some with automated set pieces that can move in 9 seconds if needed, rotating scenic pieces, and a seasoned cast, some of whom have worked together before.  DREAMGIRLS is quite a production.

There even was an interactive board in the foyer asking patrons what their American Dream is... and folks participated by jotting their dream on a post-it.
