The Socialite hit the scene last night, courtesy of one of my amazing friends...King Socialite William Bryant Miles. He invited a group of us out to opening night of DreamGirls at the world famous Apollo. It was actually the first time I stepped inside of the theater, and as I climbed my way up what seemed like a million steps, I could feel the energy of the great performers who had graced this great stage once before.
After already seeing the movie of course, I was extremely excited to enter an experience that I was confidence would have me standing on my feet at the end of the night giving a standing ovation. I was not disappointed as the cast were able to truly capture the essence of the story, and take my mind away from the cast of the movie. Moya Angela, who played Effe White, gave a stellar performance, and her supporting cast, did great at supporting and carrying out the story.
The story started off in 1962 and The Dreamettes, a hopeful girl group from Chicago, enter the Amateur Night talent competition at the famed Apollo Theater. You can imagine how it must have felt actually becoming the audience at the Apollo. It was like we were apart of the show. I encourage everyone to head to the Apollo and become apart of the Dream...DreamGirls!
-Keep Up!
