I usually can’t stand the casting of main stream musicians on broadway. but if I had to suggest 2 people:
luke james - bc steppin’ to the bad side was made for that man!
halle bailey: she really can pull off that naive vibe and has the voice to pull off that sort of innocence.
‘DREAMGIRLS’ is returning to Broadway in fall 2026.
A nationwide casting search is underway to find the next generation of The Dreams.
Five-time Tony Award nominee Camille A. Brown will direct and choreograph the new production.
Part of it is around the time Holiday & Hudson did those performances they were very early career. Dreamgirls was holiday’s second play at 21 & DG was hudson’s first movie. The ladies were HUNGRY. & I need the hunger to be palpable.
