Dreamgirls, Chicago Style
Dreamgirls is indeed one of the ultimate stories that centers on the ups and downs of music and show business; now, the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical that inspired the 2006 film of the same name and resulted in a Best Supporting Actress Oscar win for Jennifer Hudson, will have an encore run in Chicago.
Directed by John Ruffin, Dreamgirls, which debuted in Chicago in March, is returning by popular demand for two shows this month; and just like the Broadway and film versions, it contains plenty of energy, along with powerful singing, acting and musical numbers by a Chicago-based cast.
Catch Dreamgirls Saturday and Sunday, May 12-13 at the Harold Washington Cultural Center 4701 S. King Dr. Tickets are $40-$60; for show times and more information, call 773-225-2725.
