đ€ Hey, Dreamgirls fans! Get ready to have your world rocked because the legendary musical 'Dreamgirls' is making a glitzy comeback on Broadway! And guess who's pulling the strings behind the scenes? None other than the fabulous Jennifer Hudson! As she revealed on The Jennifer Hudson Show, sheâs stepping into the producer's role to bring this iconic show to life for a new generation.
Jennifer spilled, âThis fall, Dreamgirls is coming back to Broadway for the very first time since 1981. Itâs all new and I am beyond thrilled to be a part of it!â We canât wait to see her vision come to life on the big stageâshe's got lots more to share soon, but for now, know that sheâs having a blast with her amazing team to bring this spectacular production your way.
But thatâs not all! The revival is getting the magic touch from super-talented, five-time Tony nominee Camille A. Brown, who will be working her genius on both directing and choreography. You might know her from hits like Hellâs Kitchen and Gypsyânow she's taking on Dreamgirls!
Although the dates and casting details are still under wraps, the excitement is building! It's been too long since Dreamgirls first dazzled crowds at NYCâs Imperial Theatre way back in 1981. Remember Sheryl Lee Ralph and Jennifer Holiday in those star-making roles? Since then, itâs toured the globe and wowed Londonâs West End, too.
Hold tight for more details coming your way, and in the meantime, gear up to groove. With its track record of bagging Tony Awards and even a Grammy for its original soundtrack, it's clear Dreamgirls is a timeless hit. And Jennifer Hudson is no stranger to its magicâshe snagged an Oscar for bringing Effie Melody White to life in the 2006 movie alongside A-listers like BeyoncĂ© and Jamie Foxx.
So, as we wait for this revamped musical explosion, why not enjoy some nostalgia by checking out the original cast's video performance? Broadway is about to get a whole lot more exciting!
