A MUSICAL SPECTACULAR!

This is the first live musical that I’ve seen in 44 years and wow, I was blown away by the talent, the performances, the energy, the SOUL!! If this doesn’t fill you with absolute joy, you haven’t got a pulse! Nicole Dennis, you were epic, thank you and your fellow cast members for making this a Christmas Eve to remember!!

DREAM GIRLS EXPERIENCE

This was the first time we had left a musical at the interval as the level of singing was way too loud. So much so that it interfered with my friend's hearing aids. This was a real shame as the performances from all cast members were excellent as was the staging. A case of less is more I think

EDINBURGH SHOW WAS AVERAGE

Dreamgirls it is an outstanding play with wonderful music. The Edinburgh cast performance seemed flat if compared to legends like the kinds of Jeniffer Holiday, J. Hudson, etc. The cast did their best but overall the show lacked of the soul and depth that you would expect from this love and friendship story. If the original cast (1980s) were to be a double espresso, this one seemed to me like a watered down single shot Americano. On positive note, the orchestra performed exceptionally well. Overall it was entertaining, only if you get the cheapest tickets. Not worth the premium price.

THE GIRL WHO PLAYED EFFIE SAVED THE SHOW

Went tonight Wednesday 4th Jan with my daughter.. honestly so excited to see the show.. we are regulars at the Empire and we always get tickets in the stalls.. excited for the singing and omg tonight was such a disappointment The girl who played Effie (who got a well deserved standing ovation) and Jimmy were the only two who were totally in tune and not shouting The girl who played Dina was so out of tune, shouting and really needs to watch the performance back..spoilt it for us as our favourite songs were .. well let’s just say I had to cover my ears it was that bad!!! The other two dream girls were ok but the dancing looked like they were just going through the moves Some harmonies were ok but it wasn’t consistent.. it was oh this is good then Cringe!! Male dancers were superb Sadly if you want a headache then you will defo get one from parts of this show.. As it’s a show that is all about the music this really needs honest feedback to the cast

We have never left a musical at half time but could not stand the volume of the music. Singers were good but far too loud

What we thought

glittering MUSICAL Magic

a masterclass in the biographical musical, a glittering and breathless adventure that keeps you hanging on until the very last second

I'm happy to report that Dreamgirls, the much anticipated London premiere of Henry Krieger & Tom Eyen's 1981 musical does not just follow that trend but ups the ante to stratospheric heights. It is a masterclass in the biographical musical, a glittering
