The beloved 1981 musical Dreamgirls made the transition to the silver screen without losing its charm or its dramatic effect, winning an Oscar for breakout star Jennifer Hudson. Now a new production of the show, with Syesha Mercado (another American Idol alum) in the role of Deena, launches its national tour at the Apollo. Volatile and moving relationships between characters coupled with memorable songs keep Dreamgirls in your heart long after the curtain.
