Casey Nicholaw directs the Olivier Award-winning, smash-hit London revival of Broadway musical Dreamgirls. Charting the journey of The Dreamettes as they transform from backing vocalists to superstars, Marisha Wallace, Moya Angela and Karen Mav all step into the role that made both Jennifer Holliday and Jennifer Hudson household names. Featuring much-loved songs including "Family", "One Night Only" and "And I Am Telling You", Dreamgirls continues to play sensational performances at the Savoy Theatre.
Dreamgirls, the musical, originally opened on Broadway in 1981 and was nominated for a staggering thirteen Tony Awards. After winning six Tony Awards and five Drama Desk Awards in 1982, the musical went on to win two Grammy Awards, including Best Cast Show Album. In 2006, the film that starred Beyoncé Knowles, Jennifer Hudson and Jamie Foxx was commended with several nominations.
Set in 1960’s Chicago during the dawning era of Rhythm and Blues, Dreamgirls follows three sensational singers as they journey to the top of the charts. “The Dreams” perform regularly and are soon discovered by Curtis Taylor, a former car salesman turned manager.

Based on the successes of music from The Supremes, The Shirelles and James Brown, Dreamgirls includes numbers such as "Family", "I Am Changing", "One Night Only" and the show-stopping "And I Am Telling You".

I just love the music from Dreamgirls. I saw Marisha Wallace as Effie and her voice was just INCREDIBLE! It gave me chills. I loved the story, the songs, the costumes and the cast. Would definitely see again.
Incredible show with a talented cast. Their vocals were impeccable! I will see them again any time they return.
