Dreamgirls dazzles London audiences at the Savoy Theatre

I was never a fan of musicals until I took my girlfriend to see this for her 21st. Absolutely incredible performance and fantastic customer service.

What a huge disappointment! I booked this show as a present for my friend's birthday and we were really looking forward to it. We were pleased with the view from our seat in the dress circle row G but when the show started we were horrified with the screeching sound from the girl singers. Not only was it far too loud but they sounded as if they were screaming not singing. I don't know if it was the acoustics from the seats we had but we both had headaches and sore ears after the show (and so did others in the row we sat in}. We were going to walk out at half time but thought things might improve - unfortunately they did not as the screeching continued. What a shame - you really need to listen to what the audience hear in the dress circle and do something about your sound as this was a complete waste of time and money and a disappointing birthday present.

brilliant show action from the opening great dancing and songs

When I received these tickets as a Christmas present I didn't think much of it. I had seen the film and wasn't as moved as similar films but watching the show at the savoy blew my mind! the singing, choreography, set design, direction, costumes and cast where all fantastic. This show is a must, its fast pace and fun and gives you Goosebumps with the singing! I couldn't recommend this more.

starts out a little slow,singing fantastic, will have you in tears.

04/04/18 matinee - By far the best live performance I have ever seen...moved to tears by’And I am telling you...’ hubby was too...never thought a show could have that effect...if I could review higher than 5 stars I would. Well worth the money

My review for the performance - great , very enjoyable, story easy to follow even if don't know the story prior. It is pretty much all singing very little talking. However the seating - do not choose row f in dress circle, this is the back row of the front section - it was freezing , really bad draft it was so cold I felt like crying. All this row of people had coats on. I noticed the rows in front people hasn't got coats on so clearly it was just the draft that was hiring this row as nothing behind us. To be fair it did spoil it for me as I spent as much time trying to keep warm as trying to enjoy the production.

Outstanding show but for goodness sake do something about your seating. We paid good money to sit in row T in the stalls and all I could see was the overhanging balcony and the big head of the person in front of me. And don't get me started on the Front of House staff who were less than helpful when I asked if these seats were classed as restricted view. The theatre was hot, stuffy and the seats were cramped and uncomfortable. It's the 21st century folks so lets bring these theatres up to date in terms of viewing and comfort.

Went to see Dream girls on Saturday October 7th 2017. What an amazing experience the vocal performances of Amber Riley are just exquisite. An exceptional young lady and outstanding talent. Moved to tears by this wonderful actress and singer, was a joy to behold and and something I will never forget. Thank you

Went to see the show as a birthday present from my son. Never thought I could be moved to tears by the power of song. It was breathtaking. Superb costumes and stage sets. What more can I say – perfection.

I saw Dreamgirls on Wednesday evening with my daughter, what an absolute treat. Such a strong talented cast, by far the best complete cast I have seen in London in years. The costumes were great, choreography superb and the singing amazing and Jimmy Early fantastic. Amber Riley will blow you away her incredible, beautiful voice. She brought both of us to tears, she was so believable and when she sings “I Am Changing” Breathtaking. The only show I have ever seen where she got a very well deserved standing ovation during a performance and not just at the end of a show. If you want a really good night out get a ticket.

Went last Wednesday to the afternoon performance and my wife and I were almost in tears from the amazing singing throughout. Amber Riley was fantastic as was the guy who played Jimmy Early. Was a little disappointed that the song “Love You I Do” wasn’t sung as we had this on our wedding day. Other than that superb!!!

Went to the matinee yesterday. Amber was not appearing but Marisha Wallace was playing entire. Omg she was amazing amazing amazing!!! Marvellous show that I could not fault. Whole of cast were excellent. Singing was superb. Costumes gorgeous. Just booking to go again. Best show ever!!!!

I went to see Dreamgirls last night and I couldn’t be happier. I came from Belgium to see this show and I can see loud and clear that it was absolutely worth it! The costumes, the choreography, the lights, the decor and of course, the singing… Oh my god, the singing… It was just perfect. I have to admit I bought tickets the minute I knew Amber Riley was playing Effie – because I’m a huge fan of Glee and I just had to come and see her – but I was so happy to see that the entire cast is wonderful and every last one of them is so talented. Thank you all for this amazing show!

Took my 2 daughters last night to watch the show, we were amazed by everyone’s performance, the cast are all very talented. Wow wow wow Amber Riley, what a voice!!!

Me too, we saw the matinee performance yesterday and were also blown away by Amber Riley’s singing. Adam J Bernard’s singing and dancing was also incredible. In fact the whole cast, the singing, the dancing, costumes, the orchestra, everything about the show was excellent. I saw the movie a little while ago, and I thought Jennifer Hudson would never be bettered in the role of Effie. Boy, how wrong was I?

Went to see Dreamgirls on Friday 20th January. Omg I was blown away by Amber Riley’s performance. I have never been to a theatre show where a member of the cast has received standing ovations (3 actually) during the show. I have to say, the rest of the cast were fantastic but for me she was awesome. I am hoping to go again as it was that good. Thank you Miss Riley for being here in London, long may you stay x

Me and my mother saw Dreamgirls on tuesday night. I can honestly say it was our dream come true, as we love the film and music. It was absolutely fabulous from start to finish, absolutely mind blowing. The story, music, costumes etc, was amazing, beat the film and for me to say that honestly I don’t think anything will ever come close. I’ve seen The Bodyguard twice, The Lion King etc which I loved, just Dreamgirls knocked spots off anything I’ve ever seen including seeing Beyoncé last year and that was fabulous. Each and everyone one of the cast is worth their weight in gold. Everyone of them was truly outstanding. Me and my mother want to see the show again, as it well and truly blew our socks off. It really was a dream come true for me and my mother.

We saw the show last night – and it was fabulous – the whole cast are so talented and Karen Mav’s voice is spine tingling, we both cried when she sang ‘and I’m telling you’ we will be recommending the show to all musical lovers and we hope we get a chance to see it again. Thank you x

I’m not easy to please – this show is great as I sat down with the echo sound of the audience. The colour and the spectacular performance and soul of the music touch me – yes I was grooving to the music and was well entertained. Thank you. I will watch again with some friends

Saw Dreamgirls on Saturday and it is absolutely awesome! Please say that you’ll be making a London cast recording of this show. Amber Riley’s voice is incredible.

I went to the matinee performance of Dreamgirls yesterday, initially a little disappointed Amber wasn’t performing, I shouldn’t have been! Karen Mav was absolutely outstanding, the passion with which she sang I am telling you was breathtaking, with a standing ovation when she finished, I’ve never seen that in the middle of a show! Then the duet of listen was equally spectacular! The whole cast were excellent with a great performance by Tosh Wanogho-Maud as a stand in Jimmy Early. My new favourite musical, which I will be back to see soon. Agree the band was a little too loud which meant at times you couldn’t hear all the lyrics, but don’t be put off, it’s still brilliant.
