Set in 1960s Detroit, DREAMGIRLS follows the commercial and cultural struggles of the R&B recording industry, through the eyes of the Dreamettes from backyup singers to headlinging international superstars. The trio -- Deena, Effie, and Lorrell -- soon discover the harsh reality behind the glamour of fame and fortunes, as the group's controlling and shady manager, Curtis Taylor Jr, uses them to help build his musical empire and capture his dream of crossing over from R&B to the pop charts. He sacrifices Effie's immense talent as lead singer for Deena's stunning, more mainstream look to sell the sound, pushing marketable appeal over musical artisanship -- and compromising the ambitions of his proteges.
