West End · Savoy Theatre · 2016
Nearly four decades after its history-making premiere, the smash-hit musical comes to the West End for the first time.
Drawing inspiration from the true stories of Motown and R&B artists including James Brown and The Shirelles, Dreamgirls transports audiences to a revolutionary time in American music history. The story chronicles the tumultuous journey of ‘The Dreams,’ a young female singing trio from Chicago, as they learn the hard lesson that stardom isn’t always as glamorous as it seems.
