I saw the original production with Julia twice and once with Franchise. I loved them both.

The staging was so inventive and all the women were wonderful.

It was the first time I heard Karen Akers and she was stunning singing Be on Your Own. I loved hearing Unusual Way for the first time.

That season of Nine and Dreamgirls was so special. There should have been a tie for best musical.

YES! Wouldn't that have been something?? Remember my best friend & me hanging from I think balcony seats, must have been fall of senior year in high school, ENTRANCED by the energy of the show & its OBC, & YES, after, repeatedly playing that complete cassette recording on the walkman, etc., etc...where that tape went, I WISH I knew, cause the vinyl and cd I got don't have it all. Karen Akers striding through the house at the end of BE ON YOUR OWN (OH she was wonderful...a friend's parents later took me to hear her at Carnegie Hall!!!), Anita Morris writhing on that block, my friend falling madly in love with Raul Julia who was SO fine, the energy of the BE ITALIAN number, the gorgeous harmony of the opening number and its set and costumes all in black and white as I remember...feel so lucky to have been there!!!!
