        This show had the best singing in Flint since LaKisha Jones was on American Idol! The New McCree Theater troupe brought a vibrant vocal dimension to the FCP, who are always good, but they can't sing like this bunch. I hope they will join arms again in the future. At the first evening's production the sound amplification system was somewhat week, but that may have improved later. But still the best gig in town! Collapse

        Dreamgirls Bianca Tedford, Chaika Stribling and Sharondra Smith rehearse at Bower Theater on April 28 Audiences certainly can get their money's worth in non-stop entertainment this month as Flint Community Players and The New McCree Theatre combine to present the amazing Tom Eyen and Henry Krieger musical "Dreamgirls." It is three hours of unflagging energy and stunning musical expertise. Ostensibly the story of the rise of The Supremes during the turbulent 1960s and '70s, the story traces the steps to fame followed by three Chicago girls as they try to break into the music business in New York. It isn't just about the music though. The story also offers glimpses of the behind-the-scenes reality of the entertainment industry. This business side was illustrated best Friday in the show-stopping "Steppin' To The Bad Side." Directed and choreographed by Steven J.Mokofsky and co-produced by Charles H. Winfrey and Mokofsky, Collapse
