Hello, thanks for joining us for this episode of Into the Killing. As always, we want to tell you,

we want to hear from you if you know of any cold cases that were eventually solved. If you do,

please visit our website, criminally listed.com, then go to the suggested case page. On that same page,

you can also suggest cases for our two YouTube channels, criminally listed, and paranormal listed.

Sometimes we encounter fascinating cases, but there isn't enough material to make an episode,

so we decided to cover two of those cases in a double feature this week.

For our first case, we're going back to August 1985.

The musical Dreamgirl Girls closed at the Imperial

Theatre in New York City on August 11, 1985 after 1,522 performances. The musical

opened on December 20th, 1981. Dreamgirls has been an R&B trio called the Dream ads,

but they later called themselves the dreams.

It follows their trials and tribulations in the world of the 1960s and 70s music business.

The musical was a massive hit and was nominated for 14 Tony Awards.

It won six, including Best Book of a Musical and Best Choreography.

In 2006, it was made into a major motion picture starring Beyonce, Jamie Fox, Jennifer Hudson, and Eddie Murphy.

The movie was nominated for eight Academy Awards.

Jennifer Hudson won Best Supporting Actress and the film also won the Oscar for best sound mixing.

On August 9th, 1985, the movie, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, hit the theaters.

The character Pee Wee Herman was developed and portrayed by Paul Rubin.

He created the character in 1977 while he was a member of the improv group, The Groundlings.

In 1980, Rubin debuted the play The Pee We Herman Show in Los Angeles, California.

It was a huge hit and HBO filmed it for a special.
