“Dreamgirls” Seeks Dream Girls
The Broadway revival of “South Pacific,” with which I am proud to be associated, took its time casting its principals, and the result was laureled with Tony awards. The upcoming major revival of “Dreamgirls” is also in no hurry to find its stars. Director Robert Longbottom would like nothing better than to mint his own divas, and in that spirit he held auditions this past Saturday at the Apollo Theater in New York, where the show’s first scene is set and where this revival will kick off performances next November.
