The movie version of this scene didn't touch the stage version. This is classic!!! I saw it 6 times back in the day and this scene always brought the house down.
It drove me crazy that they had that talented film cast and cut most of the group sung thru music. What I wouldn’t give to hear Bee, Jhud, and Princess Tiana go at it vocally with THIS version of Heavy
I will not forget seeing this version of Dreamgirls when it came to Costa Mesa 6 years ago. And now the production is reborn later this month when it comes to La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts featuring the return of Moya Angela as Effie.
