WARWICK'S TEARS OF JOY OVER STAGE TRIBUTE

Soul star DIONNE WARWICK stunned the cast of Chicago stage show DON'T MAKE ME OVER (IN TRIBUTE TO DIONNE WARWICK) on Friday (28JUL06), when she joined the actors onstage to personally thank them. The 65-year-old singer, who received a standing ovation when she entered the auditorium, watched with tears of joy as the Black Ensemble Theater performed her hits, including WALK ON BY, DO YOU KNOW THE WAY TO SAN JOSE and I SAY A LITTLE PRAYER. And after the final bows, Warwick walked onstage to speak to the stars. She said, "My babies, you were magnificent. Truly magnificent. I cannot thank you enough for caring that much about me."
