Dreamgirls

This is a show about a time in American musical history when what is called rhythm and blues blended with other styles of popular music creating a new American sound. Act One is set in the fabulous sixties, a time when we were still screaming at Elvis and listening to the Beatles, but were dancing to the new beat of countless girl and boy groups like The Supremes, The Marvelettes, The Temptations, and The Shirelles. Dreamgirls is not just about the singing and the dancing and the performing. The play is also about the behind-the-scenes reality of the entertainment industry, the business part of show business, and the often bitter racial dynamic that made possible this cultural phenomenon. The story follows the American sound all the way to the advent of Disco. The musical revolutions explored in Dreamgirls are of such importance that only now-decades later-are we beginning to understand them.
