DREAMGIRLS is a show about a time in American musical history when what is called rhythm and blues blended with other styles of popular music creating a new American sound. Act One is set in the fabulous sixties-a time when we were still screaming at Elvis and listening to the Beatles, but were dancing to the new beat of countless girl and boy groups like The Supremes, The Marvelettes, The Temptations and The Shirelles. DREAMGIRLS is not just about the singing and the dancing and the performing. The play is also about the behind-the-scenes reality of the entertainment industry-the business part of show business that made possible this cultural phenomenon. Act Two shows the creation and the arrival of disco-though the word is never used in the script. The subject matter of this play deals with a musical contribution to America of such importance that only now-two decades later-are we beginning to understand.
ADULT LANGUAGE (PG-13)
The "face value" of your ticket (i.e., $18 or $16) incorporates the State of North Carolina Admissions Tax as well as the local tax rates of Forsyth County, which together total 6.75% of the ticket price, i.e.:
$18.00 (Face Value) = $16.86 (Ticket Price) + $1.14 (Admissions Tax)
$16.00 (Face Value) = $14.99 (Ticket Price) + $1.01 (Admissions Tax)
If you feel this is an unfair burden to you as a patron of the arts or to small non-profit theater venues, then please contact your legislature.
