[ June 30, 2010 8:00 pm to July 18, 2010 10:00 pm. ] Now, if you have read the theater section for any length of time, you probably know that, even when I am bestowing praise on a recent work, I try not to be overwhelming with how much I lavish it on the actors, cast, and crew. This will not be one of those times...dreamgirls was nothing short of amazing. From the opening number of "I'm Lookin' for Something," the cast of this long-running stage play had the audience captivated. Their energy, their ability to connect with each other and the audience, and their sheer talent were enough to make the hours of the show pass by in mere minutes.

[ June 3, 2010 to June 23, 2010. ] Brighton Beach Memoirs at the Contemporary Theatre of Dallas is a celebration of family, tradition and really awesome Brooklyn accents.

One might think that maybe the hype was a little overplayed, that perhaps the stories people from all across the country had shared about their experiences with this (as some have said) "life-changing" show might be more hyperbolic than truth.
