| We went expecting to hate it; after all, it was potentially stealing all the "Dreamgirls" thunder. | |

| That was the vibe. It arrived in the spring of the "Dreamgirls" season. I remember seeing a Saturday matinee preview, walking home to the Upper West Side. The show sent us out on a cloud, a cliche, but true. The Yeston score on a first hearing, was just glorious. I became enamored of Karen Akers, who was such a unique presence and voice. But that whole company, what a company it was! I loved "Dreamgirls" and "Nine" and didn't pick a favorite. I went back twice, always loved it. That set and staging were just sublime, tucked into the then 46th Street Theatre. The revival was fine; the movie depressed the hell out of me. | |
