Mad Cow Theatre presents Dreamgirls, with music by Henry Krieger and lyrics and book by Tom Eyen, in The Harriett Theatre at 54 W. Church Street. New performances are scheduled for: Thursday, July 4 at 7:30 pm; Friday, July 5 at 7:30 pm; Saturday, July 6 at 7:30 pm; and Sunday, July 7 at 2:30 pm. Dreamgirls opens tonight, June 7, 2013. Below, BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action onstage!

A musical based on 1960's music, show business aspirations and the success of acts such as The Supremes, The Shirelles, and the incomparable JAmes Brown, this Tony Award winning musical captures the spirit of hope and Motown when a girl group from Chicago get their big break in a business controlled by men. As they struggle to find their musical and cultural identity, they also fight for fellowship, sisterhood, and true love at any cost. A rich, glowing spectacle about the price of show-biz success, Dreamgirls sizzles with sparkling dance and R&B soul.

Dreamgirls will be directed and choreographed by Ray Hatch and features a company of talented artists making their Mad Cow debut. The Dreams will be played by Cherry Hamlin as Deena Jones, Jasmine Thompson as Lorrell Robinson, and Jayne Trenette as Effie White.

Dreamgirls runs from tonight, June 7-July 7, 2013, at Mad Cow Theatre, 54 West Church Street in Downtown Orlando. Preview performances are June 5 and 6 at 7:30pm. All tickets are $10. Opening night is Friday, June 7, 2013, with a reception following the performance. There are two Monday night performances scheduled on June 17th and 24th at 7:30pm. Tickets are $15.00 in advance and at the door. Tickets start at $27.00 and are available online at madcowtheatre.com and by calling the Mad Cow Theatre box office at 407.297.8788 x1.
