Tony and Grammy Award winner Jennifer Holliday was to return to DREAMGIRLS this August in productions at Atlanta's Theatre of the Stars and Wolf Trap's Filene Center, but Holliday recently tweeted:

Dear TweetFAM,Trying 2MoveOn from MyDisappointment&Embarrassment of "DREAM GIRLS CANCELLED"! @TheFoxTheatre @Wolf_Trap ProducedBy @TOTSATL

#DreamGirlsCancelled Although I empathize with @TOTSATL Money Woes, I was MISLEAD 2think finances were in place!

UPDATE: BroadwayWorld has confirmed with a Theater of the Stars resentative that despite Holliday's tweets, only the Wolf Trap production has been cancelled. The production will run as scheduled in Atlanta, August 22-25.

DREAMGIRLS follows the story of The Dreams, an all-girl singing trio from Chicago in their quest for success. Based on the show-biz stories of the 1960s R&B acts like The Supremes, the Shirelles and JAmes Brown, DREAMGIRLS tells a story of heartbreaks and challenges; of breaking new ground, both musically and socially, and how family and friendships triumph and last through all trials.

Directed by Robert Clater and choreographed by Lesia Kaye, DREAMGIRLS features a Grammy award winning score by Henry Krieger and Tom Eyen featuring the songs "One Night Only", "Steppin to the Bad Side", "I Am Changing" and the popular song that won Ms. Holliday her Grammy award, "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going".
