| I saw the original the original cast in August of 1982. The energy in the audience was incredible during this number ending in a standing ovation. The crowd was so loud and still cheering that the final moments of Act I were almost missed as The Dreams came on to end the act. I like how you posted it was like Effie was “wiped away” from the group and she was not allowed to end Act I on her song. We couldn’t wait for Act 2. Fun note- the night before I saw this show I saw Nine. After the show ended I saw Jennifer Holiday and Michael Bennet on the sidewalk having an argument. I didn’t realize who they were until I walked a bit and put 1+ 1 together. Looking back I'm so happy I saw this original cast. |

| I saw Nine as well as Dreamgirls. Both stunning. My friend got us standing room for Dreamgirls. I wasn't that thrilled to go for some reason. I remember we got to sit down pretty quickly on the aisle in the orchestra. Those were the days when you could "second act" a show. I was just blown away by every minute of Dreamgirls. I thought Nine was equally as brilliant. I wanted Dreamgirls to win I remember. Both shows were unforgettable... especially with the original casts! | |

| Lucky you seeing Dreamgirls and Nine back to back! Since I was not a Tony voter and had no skin in either game, I get to love them BOTH. :-) Honestly they are both in my top five favorite musicals of all time. Funny that they opened in the same season. | |
