This groundbreaking musical, loosely based on the career of The Supremes, takes you to a revolutionary time in American music history when rhythm and blues blended with other styles of popular music and created a new American sound—Motown. In the ‘60s, three friends form The Dreamettes and get their big break at an amateur competition by singing backup vocals for a major star. As their own fame grows, however, things begin to spin out of control when their agent’s business maneuvers trump their friendship and their success take them down a path of heartbreak and turmoil. Over two decades, The Dreams (as they become known) learn hard lessons about love, trust and the changing tastes of the American public.
