Dreamgirls
Thirty-five years after the groundbreaking original Broadway production, this UK and West End premiere of the sensational and iconic Tony Award®-winning musical DREAMGIRLS is now playing at the Savoy Theatre, London.
Featuring R&B classics such as ‘I Am Changing’, ‘One Night Only’ and ‘Dreamgirls’
With book and lyrics by Tom Eyen and music by Henry Krieger, Dreamgirls won six Tony Awards when it opened on Broadway over three decades ago and has more recently been adapted into an Academy Award-winning film starring Beyoncé Knowles and Jennifer Hudson.
Set in America in the 1960s, Dreamgirls tells the story of a trio of young women singers called The Dreams. The musical follows the group’s stormy journey from their hometown of Chicago up the greasy pole of success and celebrity.
Tony and Olivier Award-winner Casey Nicholaw (The Book of Mormon, Aladdin, Something Rotten!) directs and choreographs the London production of the ground-breaking show, staying faithful to a lot of the original choreography by Michael Bennett (A Chorus Line).

I thought Beyoncé was good in the original movie, but Effie blows her out of the water - what a performance, what a voice. The whole cast was on top form and I enjoyed much more than I thought I would. Well done to all

Production really good with lovely costumes but sound so loud that it was difficult to understand the words. Consequently we left at the interval. Really disappointing!

Fantastic show. Great costumes. Amazing songs. Singing superb. Lost a star because at times singing sounded like shouting! Not sure if the was the sound control or microphones. That the fact I wanted more was the only thing that lost a star!!

It is a fast-moving , easy to follow musical, but for my friend an myself (and we were sat very far from the front), Effie's singing was ear-hurtingly loud. She has a lovely voice - the volume was not required.

The show was amazing. Loved the singing and the dancing. The show stopper"I am Telling you" lived up to it's reputation. The raw emotion and the controlled singing of Moya Angelo brought tears to my eyes. Definitely a show to see.

Mesmerising, visual and the voices of the actors were outstanding. Watch out for Effie’s Big songs they take your breath away her voice is so powerful and beautiful tears flowed! When she sang ‘I’m telling you’ the audience were on there feet! Highly recommend I love the film but the theatre knocked it out the park.

We attended evening performance on 15/11, having seen the show once before. All performers were outstanding. Songs were delivered to standing ovations throughout the performance. It was a real treat!!! Would recommend this show to anyone.

This musical is undoubtably wonderful, a must watch show. The props and the female singers costume was remarkable! The performance of the singers in the cast of 15th November was eminent. The only one obstruction of the completely enjoyment of the show was the malfunction of the sound. Luckily after the break this issue was fixed, so we had an exquisite part two.
