    Heavy, Heavy

    If you happen to live in Washington State than I have some good news for you. There is a production of DREAMGIRLS at the Performing Arts Theatre at Columbia Basin College. The show is running September 1, 2, 3, 8, and 9 at 8:00 pm in the CBC Theatre. The Tri-City Herald reviewed the show and wrote this in its Arts and Entertainement section:

    "Not only does the music blow you away in this CBC production, the costumes also are nothing short of dazzling. As for the performances by the 20-member cast, there's just one word to describe it: Wow! And that was just from watching a full-run dress rehearsal this week."

    Jennifer Hudson is featured in a TMZ.com article titled "When Reality Stars Become REAL Stars" There is a little blurb written up about her and here it is:

    "Jennifer Hudson, like Clarkson, got her start on "American Idol" but unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, she didn't win. After being voted off midway through the third season of the "Idol" finals, many thought Hudson would wind up just another reality show contestant ... waiting tables at Applebees. But Hudson surprised everyone by beating out hundreds of singers, including "Idol" winner Fantasia Barrino, to land a role in the big screen adaptation of the Broadway musical "Dreamgirls" alongside Beyoncé and Jamie Foxx. Although the film doesn't come out until December, early buzz says Hudson is so good she could get an Oscar nod for Best Supporting Actress. Nomination or not, Jennifer Hudson is already turning out to be a true American idol."
