A Chorus Line may be better known, but Dreamgirls was a towering achievement for director Michael Bennett. Loosely based on the Supremes' story, the 1982 musical told a typical show-biz tale of fame, backbiting, and survival. As is often the case for one-night only events, the cast in this concert version (recorded in New York on September 24, 2001) is led by an eye-popping assortment of Broadway powerhouses: Lillias White (The Life), Audra McDonald (Ragtime, Marie Christine), and Heather Headley (Ragtime). McDonald reveals a previously undisclosed comic streak, while Headley confirms her status as a rising star. Reprising the role of Effie Melody White (created by Jennifer Holliday), White belts the classic "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going." But the beauty of Dreamgirls is that it's so packed with catchy, Motown-influenced R&B numbers that each lead can sink her teeth into some prime material and get a turn in the spotlight. This double-CD set really makes you wish you'd been there when the show was recorded: you can hear the crowd going berserk at times, and the temptation is strong to do the same thing in the comfort of your living room. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Dreamgirls 2001.......2007-06-27

This was the worst reproduction of Dreamgirls that I ever heard. I was so disappointed the CD went into the garbage. This is one CD that I would not sell to the public because I expect so much and get so little.

Not the real "DREAM" experience.......2007-04-04

Forget about the film sountrack. Get this CD set. And it's far better than the original cast recording which goes lacking. More songs and more everything that makes a live performance just what it is. Live (compared to film where anything can be done to enhance a performance!) -- the energy, the excitement and the performances make this a rare treat for anyone wanting to share in the real DREAM experience.

Isn't a full Broadway revival long over due. But wait: I've heard rumors that a rvial may be "in the works. I certainly hope so. Maybe this time it will receive the Tony award it deserved in the first place.

Absolutely brilliant!.......2007-01-28

There is atleast 5 new songs on this album that were not in the movie! These girls kill it I mean they are just amazing singers, and this all live! This is needed for any Dreamgirls fanatic like me! You are gonna love it! Enjoy! love live laugh :)

Amazing!!!!!!.......2006-12-04

As a theatre lover, this recording is amazing. I actually prefer this recording to the OBC. Sheryl Lee Ralph is okay, but can't touch Audra's Deena. The first time I heard Ms. White's "And I Am Telling You..", goosbumps all over my body. The only weak cast member in my opinon is Heather Headly. Vocally, she just isn't there. Too much Aida, not enough Dreamgirls. But all in all, a great live recording of a great show.

One Night Only .......2006-07-19

I was lucky enough to attend this One Night Only concert performance of Dreamgirls and it was a night I will never forget!! The cast was brilliant and the cd is as good if not better than the Broadway cast recording because it is the entire show not just the songs. Bravo to everyone involved !!!

His rockier side circa the 1980s.......2005-05-11

Back in 1991, Sparrow Records simultaneously released Doing my Best, Volume 1 (primarily softer, adult contemporary "radio hits") and this release (which had more uptempo fare and a few things that were closer to "rock" for Steve). While there's since been a 2 CD release "The Steve Camp Collection" (ASIN B000002UEM), this one has a lot more tracks that didn't find their way onto that one than Volume 1 did. (Possibly because only 7 of these actually made the Christian radio charts...)

PROS:
- 2 of Steve's best tracks ever appear here but NOT on the "Steve Camp Collection", 1983's "Squeeze" from FIRE AND ICE and 1989's "Playing Marbles with Diamonds" from the classic JUSTICE.

CONS:
- A lot of Steve's best material was ballads and only 4 are here (of which only 2 are great)

- Of the 6 tracks appearing here and NOT on "Steve Camp Collection", only the 2 mentioned in pros are great. "Even Now","Help is on the Way","The Church is All of You" and "I Believe in You" really aren't among Camp's best output.

BOTTOM LINE:
You can get "Playing Marbles with Diamonds" on JUSTICE (which is Camp's finest album overall and one you really SHOULD own anyway). The only great track not on the "Steve Camp Collection" (ASIN B000002UEM) is "Squeeze"...if that's your favourite Camp track ever, get this. Otherwise, spend the extra cash to get "Collection" used and have a much better purchase.

His poppier side.......2005-05-11

Back in the early 90s, Sparrow released two "Best of" CDs on Steve Camp, one with the lighter pop/AC fare that got Christian radio airplay (this one) and Volume 2, which tended to have his more driving and occasionally rock-tinged material. While this one DOES have some fine material from his post-Myrrh records material (particularly "Do You Feel their Pain?", "Don't Tell Them Jesus Loves Them", "Run to the Battle" and "Living in Laodicea"), nearly all of them can also be found on the superior 2CD set "The Steve Camp Collection" (ASIN B000002UEM).

BOTTOM LINE:
Unless your favourite Camp tunes include "Forgive Me, Forgive You", "Love that Will Not Let me Go" and "Revive Us, Oh Lord" (NOT the Carman song), then skip this one in favour of the 2CD set instead. (ASIN B000002UEM) For more in-depth info about it, see my review of that collection.
