In a press statement, producer Sonia Friedman commented, “It was wonderful to announce our star Amber Riley a few weeks ago. Now, having seen more than 1000 performers audition over many months, I am thrilled that we can reveal most of our Dreamgirls company. It is 35 years since its Broadway premiere, so to finally be the ones to bring it to London with our world-class creative team and incredibly talented, exciting young cast is an honor and privilege. I believe we now have the perfect team to create a sensational production that I hope will be well worth the wait.”
