At a time in history when rhythm and blues blended with other styles of popular music to create a new American sound a girl group set their sites on making their dreams of stardom come true.

They are well on their way when they get their big break at an amateur competition and find themselves singing backup vocals for James "Thunder" Early.  But when their agent, Curtis Taylor, Jr. makes Deena, not Effie, the star of the group that will become known as the "Dreams", things begin to spin out of control.

DREAMGIRLS is not just about the singing and the dancing and the performing. The play is also about the behind-the-scenes reality of the entertainment industry-the business part of show business that made possible this cultural phenomenon.
