Jennifer Holliday to Reprise Effie at the Fox

Jennifer_holliday We've just learned that the other Jennifer H. -- Jennifer Holliday -- will reprise her role as Effie in the Atlanta production of "Dreamgirls" for "10 nights only, 10 nights only!"

It will all happen as part of the National Black Arts Festival July 19th - 29th at the Fox Theatre. And how does Jennifer Holliday feel about not being asked to appear in the movie? She tells USA Today: "I wanted a cameo. Out of respect, usually someone from the original has a spot in the remake unless they're, like, dead or something. There were plenty of little parts all of us could have played. I would have liked to have been Deena's mother."

Oh well... at least we can all see her live on stage in July. To get your tickets, call 404-252-8960 or visit Theatre of the Stars.
