Dream Girls

Its been a while since I've watched a musical. I guess the last one was "the Producers".
While the producer is a light hearted comedy with all the laughs thrown in the right places, Dream Girls is quite serious, depicting the racial apatheid that still exist in the then white Americas. Are sacrifices in personal values and integrity worth it in breaking the proverbial glass ceiling? When do you know enough is enough? Does the ends really justifies the means?

There are so many songs in the musical that I think no one can escape the cinema without at least having a tune stuck in their head. I had fun listening to the 60's and 70's pop music, while at the same time trying to discern what's exactly in the song that makes us immediately able to tag a song as belonging to a certain era. Jennifer Hudson rocks! Although at times, i think its her powerful vocals that is causing the ringing in my ears now. The official website has some of the songs featured.
