NEW YORK, NY – February 16, 2021 – The hit musical Dreamgirls will be livestreamed in four unique performances on the Clubhouse app on Saturday, February 27 at 1pm and 7 pm (EST) and on Sunday, February 28 at 1pm and 7pm (EST). The weekend will feature unique casts, including Broadway and West End stars reprising their roles among cast members from the Broadway productions of Ain’t Too Proud, Disney’s The Lion King, Aladdin and others all performing alongside internet sensations and breakout stars as well as winners and runner ups of some of America’s most popular talent competition shows. 

Introducing Dreamgirls to new audiences, this dazzling virtual production will play exclusively on Clubhouse, a new free app where users engage in any and all topics. The app, initially launched and marketed as an audio version of Slack for techies, has seen a great increase in popularity and scope due tothe innovation and influence of Black creatives on the app. Clubhouse, which is still in beta, can be downloaded to any device running iOS 9.0 or higher. Once downloaded, one can sign up to join the wait list or enter the platform via a text invite from a current user. 

With profound contributions from original Dreamgirls composer, Henry Krieger, the original musical’s Deena, Sheryl Lee Ralph and West End’s Effie White, the Glee star Amber Riley among other industry experts, Dreamgirls on Clubhouse has given Black artists and creatives unprecedented opportunities to hone their craft and propel their careers. The production joins a chorus of next-gen innovators revolutionizing the making and distribution of art with the Dream Directory, Dream Partnerships and other initiatives that speak to the community-driven movement. 

Featuring the classic songs “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going” and “One Night Only,” Dreamgirls on Clubhouse tells the iconic story of a trio of Black female soul singers crossing over to the pop charts in the early 1960’s while facing their own personal struggles along the way, reimagined for a virtual world.
