'Dreamgirls' Tour Will Open at the Apollo
Producer John Breglio and the Apollo Theater Foundation, Inc. announced this week that the upcoming national tour of Dreamgirls is scheduled to premiere at the Apollo Theater in Nov. 2009, for a limited engagement.
In addition, the previously postponed auditions for the Dreamgirls national tour, originally scheduled for Nov. 1, have now been rescheduled to this Saturday, Nov. 22 at the Apollo.
"The opening scene in Dreamgirls takes place in the legendary Apollo Theater, so it is only fitting that we are launching the national tour at this historic venue," Breglio said in a press release. "The prospect that we may discover the new Dreams at the Apollo, where so many stars were discovered, just adds to our excitement in bringing this great musical back to the stage."
