 DREAMGIRLS

Dreamgirls is the story of three black

singers - Deena, Lorrell, and Effie who
began as a group called the Dreamettes.
They start as three talented, close
friends and gradually sharpen their act
and rename themselves "The Dreams".
Little do they know of the hard,
competitive world of show business.

They enter a talent show held in New

York's Apollo Theatre.
Disappointed in their failure to win the
contest, they attract the attention of a sly
tongued talent agent named Curtis
Taylor, Jr. Curtis' connections get the
girls hired as a backup act to James
Thunder Early, a rising pop singing star.

They go on tour and are widely

acclaimed. At first Curtis falls in love with
Effie, the full-figured lead singer who
seems to spark the act.
Later, in an attempt to make the act
more sultry, he moves Deena into Effie's
lead spot. But when Curtis' love interest
also switches to Deena, Effie erupts in a
rage, prompted more by hurt than the
loss of her singing slot, and announces
that she is not going along anymore.

Lorrell has long since taken up with

James Early, but he is married and
refuses to make the break from his wife.
His nightclub act has also been
slipping and his stardom fading. Deena
wants to leave the group to try the
movies. Just as the Dreams are falling
apart Effie's star is rising as a solo.

Curtis tries to undermine her

revitalised career by having the Dreams
record her current hit song. But Effie
outmanoeuvres him for both a personal
and a professional triumph.
 It is announced that the Dreams will
disband. However, Effie joins them for
the farewell performance . . . before the
four Dreamgirls go their separate ways.
