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!

      Took my boyfriend to his first show, Thursday matinee. I did not know the understudy for Effie was going to be that good, He loved it.

      I went on the 2nd night, it was wonderful. Everyone was on their feet before the songs were finished. A few kinks still needed to be worked out. I sat in the mezzanine, very, very tight

      A high-energy show from start to finish! There wasn't a dull moment, and the lead vocals were phenomenal!

      The show itself was pretty good -- not the best show I've ever seen nor the worst. My teenage daughter is a huge fan of Dreamgirls, so she loved it. The Colonial Theatre balcony, though, is an extremely uncomfortable place to sit. It is very steep, so you can see the stage pretty well without being blocked. However, the rows are very close together and cramped, and there is nowhere for your feet. I'm only 5'6" (short!), but I felt very uncomfortable and cramped. Collapse
