Costumes bring 'Dreamgirls' back to life

Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "For Broadway costume designer William Ivey Long, the fun doesn't start until the work is completed.
'It's only fun when it's done,' says Long, the five-time Tony Award recipient who created the costumes for the national touring production of 'Dreamgirls' that begins a six-day run Tuesday night at Heinz Hall, Downtown."

This has always been a story that I've felt very strongly for. It's good to see that the design team is really working hard to make this production their own, while not forgetting the rich history that previous productions have given to the show. I also like the fact that this new production is including the song 'Listen' from the movie. This number really did influence the story significantly. The audience may feel like they are missing something if the artistic team decided not to include it.
