WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

First a smash Broadway musical, then an award-winning motion picture, Dreamgirls captures the spirit and hope of Motown. Inspired by show biz stories of 1960s R&B acts like The Supremes, The Shirelles, James Brown, Jackie Wilson and others, it tells the story of a black girl group from Chicago that makes it big in a business controlled by white men. As superstardom challenges their musical and cultural identity, the trio fights for recognition, fellowship and love. The musical's message about striving to "get to the top" and the personal cost invoked to stay there is universal.

DREAMGIRLS
Here is a top-level revival with a dynamic cast of 28 and a vibrant six-member band. The late Michael Bennett, and playwright Tom Eyen, clearly drew the inspiration for this show from the 1960's Motown phenomenon that forever changed the sound of popular music. It's the story of three girls from Detroit â oops, Chicago - trying to make it in show biz and the Machiavellian impresario who makes them succeed beyond their wildest expectations. The entire cast is superb and Constance Jewell Lopez, in the star-making role of Effie, doesn't disappoint. She delivers her biggest and best number, "I'm Not Going," with such anguished power one is reminded of "Rose's Turn" in "Gypsy" for the impact it has on the audience. Another favorite was Keith Arthur Bolden, as Jimmy "Thunder" Early, who stops the show with his antics and stole nearly every scene he was in. Morna Murphy Martell, former Broadway Critic for The Hollywood Reporter
