Multi-award-winning West End production of Dreamgirls comes to Northampton on its first ever UK tour

The dazzling, award-winning musical Dreamgirls comes to Northampton’s Royal & Derngate from Tuesday 22 to Saturday 26 November as part of its first ever UK tour.

Featuring the classic songs And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going, Listen and One Night Only, this sensational production of Dreamgirls had its critically acclaimed West End première in December 2016 at London’s Savoy Theatre, 35 years on from opening on Broadway.

Join the three friends as they embark upon a musical rollercoaster ride through a world of fame, fortune and the ruthless realities of show business, testing their friendships to the very limit.

Dreamgirls stars Nicole Raquel Dennis as Effie White with Sharlene Hector performing the iconic role at certain performances, Natalie Kassanga as Deena Jones and Paige Peddie as Lorrell Robinson.

A finalist on ITV’s The Voice in 2019, Nicole Raquel Dennis wowed viewers and judges at her blind audition, performing Dreamgirls mega-hit And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going alongside team mentor Jennifer Hudson.
