Dreamgirls

"Tear down the mountains. Yell, scream and shout, you can say what you want, I’m not walking out."

There’s a story behind every dream. A sweeping and inspirational journey through 20th century American pop music, Dreamgirls chronicles one Motown group’s rise from obscurity to superstardom. All you have to do is dream.

Famously inspired by the Supremes, Dreamgirls explores the stardom, competition and love lives surrounding three Black women climbing the ranks of the music industry in the '60s and '70s.

Featuring the classic songs ‘And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going’, ‘I Am Changing’ and ‘One Night Only’, Dreamgirls 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.

“Sensational... emotionally infectious... bursts with joy, desire and ferocious passion”
New York Post

Director David Gregory commented: “Dreamgirls is everything you want from a musical: memorable music, unparalleled vocals, emotional storytelling, dazzling costumes, spectacular dance. It has earned its iconic status in musical theatre for good reason. I’m thrilled to be able to help bring that to the Sedos stage. It’ll be one of the most intimate and up close productions of Dreamgirls you’ll see! Just dream… and we’ll be there!”
