ABOUT THE SHOW

Dreams live forever. Dreamgirls chronicles the story of three talented young black ladies, Deena, Lorrell, and Effie, and their rise to superstardom. Through beautiful music that ranges from R&B, gospel, soul, and more, this timely musical explores fame, hope, ambition, glamour, and betrayal as our three leading ladies become the superstar group, The Dreams, fighting for success in a competitive music industry plagued by racism, sexism, and greed.
