    Led by the powerhouse vocals of Effie White, The Dreams navigate fame, love, and betrayal under the ambitious Curtis Taylor Jr. Can they overcome the trials and triumphs of their journey and stay true to themselves?

    Character Breakdown:

    DEENA JONES: (African American Female, 20s-30s) Initially modest
    backup singer for The Dreamettes, turned lead singer of The Dreams. An endearing ingenue with regality, grace, and quiet confidence. Her
    humble beginnings make her an unsuspected underdog. As the lead
    singer, she is magnetic, effortless, and effervescent. Replaces her
    best friend, Effie under pressure. Embodies both innocence and star
    power.

    EFFIE MELODY WHITE: (African American Female, 20s-30s) Lead
    Singer of The Dreamettes. A powerhouse and a soaring singer with undeniable talent. The true underdog. A vibrant, confident, and
    outspoken young woman who wears her heart of gold on her sleeve. Becomes overcome with anger, jealousy, and paranoia when Curtis betrays her trust. Her journey from snappy confidence to depths of betrayal ultimately ends in triumph.

    LORRELL ROBINSON: (African
    American Female, 20s-30s) The group's youngest member. Bubbly,
    energetic, youthful, and pragmatic. Eager for success, she's swept off
    her feet by the married James Thunder Early. Speaks her mind. A
    high-energy, quirky, hopeless romantic. Has a keen sense of humor and comedic skill.

    C.C. WHITE: (African American Male, 20s) Effie's songwriting younger brother. Idealistic, loyal, endearing, and soft-spoken. While initially inspired by Curtis's business savvy, his efforts to do the right thing are ultimately eclipsed by Curtis' controlling vision. Goes through the journey of losing and regaining himself.

    MICHELLE MORRIS: (African American Female, 20s-30s)
    Replacement for Effie. A Dynamic singer/performer that better fits
    into Curtis' aesthetic for The Dreams. Headstrong and sure of her place. Falls in love with C.C. and facilitates the reunion of him and
    his sister, Effie.

    JAMES THUNDEREARLY: (African American Male, 30s-
    40s) Self-proclaimed King of Soul. A chart-topping and dynamic
    performer. A sexy, high-energy star full of flash, charisma, and pizazz. Once a trendsetter, the newer trends threaten to pass him by.
    A deeply troubled showman of the era, who lets loose in every aspect
    of his life.

    CURTIS TAYLOR JR: (African American Male, 20s- 40s)
    Former Cadillac dealer turned entertainment manager, turned music mogul. Charming, funny, handsome, smooth, and seductive but ruthless in the pursuit of his dreams. He is motivated by his hunger for mainstream success, an appreciation for crossover music, and keen business mind. Takes over the management of Jimmy Early's career and oversees the rise to stardom of The Dreams. Initially warm and approachable, he becomes hardened by wealth, power, and control.

    MARTY: (African American Male, 40s-60s) NON-SINGING. Street savvy, long-time manager of Jimmy's career, and the one to clean up after his mistakes. Represents an earlier age of African American entertainment; honest and loyal, never overstepping his bounds. At odds with Curtis and his ideas and schemes. Later oversees Effie's comeback.

    DAVE (White Male, 20s-30s) Cadillac Car soloist. Lead singer of Dave and The Sweethearts. “All American” pop singer of the 1960s. Covers Jimmy Early and the Dreamettes’ ‘Cadillac Car’ and steals their thunder.
