Seeking Girls for "Dreamgirls" Show
Seeking teen girls for "Dreamgirls" Show. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Inspired by Motown and R&B legends of the 1960s-70s, Dreamgirls follows the rising stardom of the Dreamettes, an all-girl singing trio from Chicago. The three best friends—the phenomenally talented, but demanding Effie White, the beautiful and appealing Deena Jones, and the eager, romantic Lorrell Robinson—team up with driven, demanding manager Curtis Taylor, who is determined to see their—and his—star rise. As their careers begin to take off, changes are made to ensure their mass appeal to the pop market. Egos are bruised, tempers flare, and hearts are broken in pursuit of stardom. Inspired by the stories of groups such as The Supremes and The Shirelles and featuring many iconic classic songs, Dreamgirls is a love letter to American R&B music and the artists that make such music great.

3 roles
(Soprano/Mezzo-Soprano with a strong belt, F3-F5) Vocal Type: Powerful mezzo-soprano with a strong belt (must soar on “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going”) Description: The original lead singer of The Dreamettes. Bold, brassy, deeply emotional, and immensely talented. Effie is confident but struggles with self-worth, body image, and heartbreak as she is pushed out of the spotlight. Requires powerhouse vocals and strong emotional range.
(Mezzo-Soprano) Vocal Type: Smooth mezzo-soprano with pop sensibility Description: Quiet, elegant, and ambitious. Deena transforms from a shy backup singer to the polished lead of The Dreams and a media darling. She becomes the face of the group as her voice and image are deemed more "marketable" than Effie’s. Graceful and poised, with inner strength that emerges over time.
(Soprano, D#4/Eb4-G5) Vocal Type: Light soprano or mezzo with strong mix/belt Description: The bubbly and flirtatious member of The Dreams. Lorrell is lively, optimistic, and often provides comic relief, though she experiences her own heartbreak. She’s involved in a long-term, secretive relationship with Jimmy Early. Needs strong comedic timing and warmth.
