One of the most celebrated black Broadway productions of all time is making its way to Atlanta. Opening October 12 and running through October 17, DREAMGIRLS will dazzle crowds at Atlanta's "Fabulous" Fox Theatre.
Originally opening on Broadway on December 20, 1981 at the Imperial Theatre, the show was nominated for thirteen Tony Awards, including "Best Musical", and won six. The show was later brought to life on the silver screen by DreamWorks and Paramount Pictures, featuring an all-star cast, headlined by Beyonce Knowles.
Though not the original or the movie cast, the new cast of Dreamgirls will introduce Moya Angela as Effie White, Syesha Mercado as Deena Jones, Adrienne Warren as Lorrell Robinson, and Margaret Hoffman as Michelle Morris. The cast will also include Chaz Lamar Shepherd as Curtis Taylor, Jr, Chester Gregory as James "Thunder" Early, and Trevon Davis as C.C. White.
The show will undoubtedly be as remarkable as each reincarnation has been!
Because I am such an avid supporter of the arts, I will be giving away a pair of tickets to an evening at The Fox to experience it live, first hand. Leave a comment on the blog and let me know your wildest and most exciting dream as it relates to something you've always wanted to do.
I will select a winner and post your dream, and any magic that I might be able to make happen, on the blog.
Think big and dream bigger! I can't wait to hear from you!
