Based on a Tony Award-winning Broadway show, this musical tale has been effortlessly translated to the big screen with a stellar cast including Jamie Foxx, Beyoncé, Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson and Anika Noni Rose. The film tells the story of a female R&B trio eager to penetrate the US musical mainstream in the 1960s. Under the management of a fame-hungry car salesman (Foxx) and with a considerable amount of determination, the Dreamgirls eventually succeed, but at a price. In their quest for fame, the girls learn what it means to be a celebrity – a status that too often comes at the cost of loyalty, love and friendship.
