Onstage: Glamour, glitz, sweet synchronicity and sophistication mixed with great dance tunes. Offstage: clawing ambition, betrayal, rejection, broken hearts. Dreamgirls tells of the triumphs and tribulations that come with fame and fortune. A young, female singing trio from Chicago gets their big break at an amateur competition and thus begins the heartbreaks of showbiz, love and music when they all collide in this 1981 six-time Tony Award winning musical loosely based on the Supremes. This dynamic production includes such hits as “One Night Only”, “I’m Changing” and “And I’m Telling You I’m Not Going”. This moving look at the behind the scenes of the entertainment industry is directed by Damon Clevenger and is a Footlite premiere.
