Moya Angela as Effie White in Dreamgirls
At The Curran Theater from August 24th to September 26th, the Broadway revival of "Dreamgirls" will knock your socks off. Frequent, dazzling costume changes, a state of the art LCD screen illuminating dance numbers, and of course powerful voices from every cast member all contribute to a fine performance. The story of The Dreams, an African-American girl group's rise to success in the 1960's, paralleling that of a certain group lead by Diana Ross, is expertly staged and acted. This production is here for a limited time- get your tickets while you can.
