DREAMGIRLS - Isaiah

Celebrate the Motown Sound with Lyric Theatre of Oklahoma this summer in DREAMGIRLS. This musical, inspired by the real-life musical group The Supremes, follows The Dreams in their rise to the top of the pop and R&B charts. The musical was adapted in 2006 as an Oscar winning film, starring Jennifer Hudson, Beyonce, Jamie Foxx, and Eddie Murphy. Directed by Lyric’s producing artistic director, Michael Baron, this production will star Tiffany Mann of the BET Network’s television series “It’s A Mann’s World” as Effie White.

DREAMGIRLS is one of my favorite musicals of all time,” said Baron. “I’m so excited to direct the cast in musical numbers like  ‘One Night Only’ and ‘(And I’m Tellin’ You) I’m Not Going.’ I’ve assembled an cast from around the globe for this production, and I know that their performances will delight and excite our audiences.”
