The new national tour of Tony-winning musical "Dreamgirls" has begun at the Apollo Theater. The show is such a success that more dates have been added. The run has been extended through December 12.
Fox 5's Anne Craig got a sneak peek from the three leading ladies.
"Dreamgirls" tells the rags-to riches story of an up and coming 1960s girls group, and the triumphs and tribulations that come with fame and fortune.
"Dreamgirls" is a major highlight of the Apollo Theater's 75th Anniversary and is directed and choreographed by Robert Longbottom with co-choreography by Shane Sparks, and is produced by John Breglio for Vienna Waits Productions.
"Dreamgirls" introduces Moya Angela as Effie White and features Syesha Mercado as Deena Jones and Adrienne Warren as Lorrell Robinson.
