The upcoming national tour of the Henry Krieger-Tom Eyen Motown musical, Dreamgirls, will premiere at Harlem's historic Apollo Theater in November 2009.
Robert Longbottom will direct and co-choreograph the national tour.
Producers of the national tour will hold auditions for Dreamgirls' central trio of The Dreams, including the roles of Deena Jones, Lorrell Robinson and Effie White, on Nov. 22 at the Apollo Theatre
Producer John Breglio released a statement regarding the decision. "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. 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."
Tickets for Dreamgirls at the Apollo Theater go on sale Jan. 26, 2009, at 10 AM via Ticketmaster.com and the Apollo Theater box office.
