wow! beyonce as effie?

Apparently, she is now to play Deena, which is maybe just a little bit TOO ironic. --FuriousFreddy 00:52, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

Happy Ending?

Perhaps the plot summary was taken from the broadway booklet, or some other official form, but I think it is really too simplistic to claim that "the story ends with a happy ending for all." I think it's fairly obvious that there is a bitter-sweet ending, in truth, probably leaning much more towards the 'bitter' end of the spectrum. 65.92.63.76 03:25, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Contains error: Second sentence, reference to the Shirelles: This was not a Motown group. It was from the Philadelphia area and recorded on an independewnt label based in Philadelphia that was -- in a rarity for the time -- headed by a woman. The Shirelles started scoring hit records around 1959 or so -- ahead of the rise of Motown and its female singing groups. None of this is to say that the Shirelles were or were not part of the inspiration for "Dreamgirls." It was a three-member group of African-American women. Rogerbryant 02:28, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

S. Epatha Merkerson

S. Epatha Merkerson of TVs "Law and Order" said she participated in a workshop of Dreamgirls when it was still referred to as Project #9 on an episode of The View. She went into greater detail about the character she helped develope and the changes that were eventually made to the show. (Her character was dropped.) I tried to find more information about this online, because I don't remember all the details. Once more complete info is found, I think this bit of trivia is worth including under the History section.
