Stench removal

It looks like the producers of the real Dreamgirls are taking action to remove the stench of the movie. There are tentative plans for a Broadway revival sometime soon. Of course, "soon" could mean 5 years or more, or never at all. We'll have to see. Hopefully they'll get the casting right. The anniversary concert a few years ago had an excellent cast, despite a lot of ill-will from the original cast, but I'm not sure they'd be right for the parts in a staged production, although it's certainly about time Heather Headley got back to Broadway and quit turning out this R&B crap she's suddenly infatuated with. On a related note, there is a chance I may be dragged, very unwillingly mind you, to the Dreamgirls movie tomorrow night. I have registered my opposition to this plan, but my companion and houseguests are rather insistent. If I'm dragged, anyone in the Tri-State area should be able to hear my complaints as I leave the theater. Listen in, it should be interesting.
