Prior to touring the country, the new production of Dreamgirls plays New York's historic Apollo Theatre through Dec. 6.

Robert Longbottom directs a cast headed by Moya Angela as Effie White, Syesha Mercado as Deena Jones and Adrienne Warren as Lorrell Robinson. Also featured are Margaret Hoffman as Michelle Morris, Chaz Lamar Shepherd as Curtis Taylor, Jr., Chester Gregory as James "Thunder" Early, Trevon Davis as C.C. White and Milton Craig Nealy as Marty Madison.

This fresh incarnation of the work includes two songs new to the stage show: "Listen" (a revised version of a song from the 2006 film) and the new second-act opener, "What Love Can Do."

Here is a first look at the production:
