The loudest critiques often come from couches on phones, not ticket holders or event goers, slick commentary travels farther than tangible financial support.

Dreamgirls returns to Broadway fall 2026, this time with the incomparable Camille A. Brown, five-time Tony Award nominee serving as both director and choreographer. Expect a revival that doesn’t just honor Michael Bennett’s legendary 1981 production, but reimagines it for a new generation of divas, dreamers, and die-hard fans.

Dreamgirls chronicles the meteoric rise of a 1960s Black girl group part Supremes, part Shirelles, all soul—capturing the grit, glamour, and heartbreak of the music business. The original Broadway run minted a superstar in Jennifer Holliday, whose powerhouse anthems “And I Am Telling You (I’m Not Going)” and “I Am Changing” became rare Broadway-to-pop crossovers. Holliday’s castmates, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Loretta Devine, and Obba Babatundé—helped solidify the show as an instant classic.

Since then, Dreamgirls has been reborn again and again: a 2001 Actors Fund concert with Audra McDonald, Lillias White, Heather Headley, Billy Porter, and Norm Lewis; and the Oscar-winning 2006 film featuring Beyoncé, Jennifer Hudson, Eddie Murphy, Anika Noni Rose, and Jamie Foxx. But this new production marks the first completely fresh staging on Broadway since the 1987 tour, giving Brown the canvas to fuse her signature choreographic fire with a story built on powerhouse vocals and raw ambition.

The producers, Sonia Friedman Productions, Sue Wagner, John Johnson, and LaChanze Productions are going global to find the next generation of Dreams. According to the team, “talented women of all shapes and sizes” will be scouted in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Detroit, Miami, London, Toronto, Mexico City, Amsterdam, Rome, and Paris.

This is more than a Broadway revival, it’s a cultural moment. A chance to see a Black female creative at the top of her game giving shows!
