The movie version of "Dreamgirls" opens this weekend and actress Jennifer Hudson's performance is creating a buzz. She sings the movie's signature tune, "And I am Telling You I'm Not Going," but the song was made famous by actress Jennifer Holliday. It earned Holliday a Tony Award for Best Leading Actress in a Musical in 1982. This kind of show-stopping tune is referred to as an "11 o'clock number." We talked with Larry Maslon, an associate arts professor at NYU, about the importance of the 11 o'clock number.
