If you have ever wanted to see the gender roles in the musical Dreamgirls flipped, you are in luck thanks to MCC Theatre’s Miscast Gala.

The annual gala allows Broadway performers to sing songs for roles they would never be able to play on stage due to age, gender, and/or race restrictions.

Two-time Tony winner Norbert Leo Butz led an epic ensemble to perform the Dreamgirls songs “It’s All Over” and “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going” at this year’s event. He played Effie while Brian d’Arcy James played Deena and Brandon Victor Dixon took on Lorrell.

Stephanie J. Block played Effie’s love interest Curtis, Kelli O’Hara took on Effie’s brother C.C., Jordan Fisher played the new Dream Michelle, and Jenn Colella played Jimmy Early.

Jennifer Holliday, who originated the role of Effie on Broadway, was sitting on stage during the performance and Norbert bowed at her feet after he was finished singing!

Cast members of the new Broadway musical Come From Away – Jenn Colella, Rodney Hicks, Chad Kimball, and Tamika Lawrence – pose together at the opening night after party on Sunday (March 12) at Gotham Hall in New York City.

The new musical takes place on and after September 11, 2001 and follows what happened to the 6,700 people whose flights were diverted to the Canadian island Newfoundland after they couldn’t land at their destinations.

The show is getting rave reviews and is destined to be a big hit on Broadway this season.

“Even the most stalwart cynics may have trouble staying dry-eyed during this portrait of heroic hospitality under extraordinary pressure,” Ben Brantley of The New York Times wrote in his glowing review.
