Dreamgirls has soul in all the right places

Sunday Times

This much-anticipated new production will be directed and choreographed by the hugely successful, Tony and Olivier award-winning Casey Nicholaw (The Book of Mormon, Aladdin, Something Rotten!).


Featuring the classic songs ‘And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going’, ‘I Am Changing’, ‘One Night Only’ and ‘Listen’, DREAMGIRLS follows the journey of a young female singing group from Chicago and will transport you to a revolutionary time in American music history. The trio ‘The Dreams’, must learn the tough lesson that show business and stardom isn’t always as glamorous as it seems.


In November 2016, after thirty-five years and 13 awards (including six Tony® Awards, 5 Drama Desk Awards and 2 Grammy’s), this new production of DREAMGIRLS finally premieres in the United Kingdom, opening at the Savoy Theatre, Strand, London.

★★★★
Fantastically entertaining ride on a showbiz rollercoaster
