American Modernism: the Shein Collection September 3, 2010

When 'Dreamgirls' first opened on Broadway in 1981, it racked up the awards and garnered the acclaim that made it the classic favorite we know and love today. Full of onstage joy and backstage drama, 'Dreamgirls' tells the story of an up-and-coming, 1960s girl singing group and the triumphs and tribulations that come with fame and fortune. Newcomer Moya Angela will assume the legendary role of Effie played by Jennifer Holliday in the original production and Jennifer Hudson in the 2006 film adaptation. Syesha Mercado as Deena and Adrienne Warren as Lorrell, completing the trio, join Angela in heading an incredible cast of talented performers. 'Dreamgirls' returns to the stage in this brand-new production that promises to provide the show-stopping numbers and touching performances audiences have come to expect.
