Next up is a sweeping and inspirational journey through 20th century American pop music: "Dreamgirls" chronicles one fictional Motown group's rise from obscurity to superstardom. Through gospel, R&B, smooth pop, disco and more, "Dreamgirls" explores themes of ambition, hope and betrayal, all set in the glamorous and competitive world of the music industry. Jennifer Holliday earned a Theatre World Award and a Tony Award for her star turn in the original Broadway production, which captured six Tony Awards, four Drama Desk Awards, Grammy Awards for Best Cast Show Album and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance (for Holliday), and wide audience acclaim. WBTT founder/artistic director Nate Jacobs will direct.
