‘Dreamgirls’ Reunion Highlights ‘RWQuarantunes’ Benefit Raising $1.3 Million for Broadway Cares
Chris Willman Music WriterA virtual 40th anniversary reunion of the original “Dreamgirls” dream cast — Loretta Devine, Jennifer Holliday and Sheryl Lee Ralph — was among the highlights of a virtual benefit Sunday for Broadway Cares, held under the auspices of RWQuarantunes, Richard Weitz’s and Demi Weitz’s ongoing series of all-star charity fundraisers.The online gala stretched just past the five-hour point, hosted by the father-and-daughter team of the Weitzes from the stage of the New Amsterdam Theatre in New York, a venue that was otherwise empty save for a cameo appearance by Broadway Cares executive director Tom Viola from one of the last rows of the orchestra section.
