Even if you’ve seen the blockbuster movie with Beyonce and Jennifer Hudson, the original Broadway production of “Dreamgirls” is a must-see for lovers of live theater. Playing now through Sunday, Mar. 1, 2015, at Desert Foothills Theater in Scottsdale, “Dreamgirls” will take hold of your heart with beloved musical compositions like “And I Am Telling You.”

“Dreamgirls” is a tale of ambition that’s still relevant today and local Phoenix-area actors do a wonderful job of bringing the script to life for Valley audiences.
