CATCH THE DREAM! Direct from the world famous Apollo Theater in New York City, a brand new, sensational stage production of DREAMGIRLS comes to Boston! Full of onstage joy and backstage drama, DREAMGIRLS tells the rags-to-riches story of a 1960s motown girl group, and the triumphs and tribulations that come with fame and fortune. With music by Academy® Award nominee Henry Krieger and book and lyrics by Tony® and Grammy®-Award winner Tom Eyen, DREAMGIRLS features the unforgettable hits: “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going,” “One Night Only” and “Listen.” Broadway director and choreographer Robert Longbottom (Bye Bye Birdie) and co-choreographer Shane Sparks (TV’s So You Think You Can Dance), along with some of Broadway’s top designers, re-envision this Tony® and Academy® Award-winning musical so it sparkles like never before!
