STILL SEEKING:
EFFIE WHITE (20’s) African-American. This vibrant young woman is as oversized in talent as she is in person. Effie is the true powerhouse in the group, a soaring singer whose voice overpowers and transcends Deena’s and Lorrrell’s. Smitten with Curtis from the beginning, Effie is overcome by anger and jealousy when she senses his growing attraction to Deena. Effie should be full-figured and her size carries with it a true sense of sexuality. HUGE GOSPEL BELT VOICE. Must move very well.
DEENA JONES (20’s) African-American. The young, thin, beautiful member of the Dreams. Happy singing backup to Effie until Curtis puts her in the lead and grooms her as the star of the group. Tall is good. MEZZO, BIG FULL BELT. Must move very well.
LORRELL ROBINSON (20’s) African-American. The third ‘Dream’. A sexy, flirtatious girl from the projects of Detroit who has been singing with her best friends Effie and Deena for years. Lorrell carries on an affair with Jimmy Early who refuses to leave his wife for her. SOPRANO, ON TOP OF MOST TRIAD HARMONY, BIG FULL BELT. Must move very well.
MICHELLE MORRIS (20’s) African-American. Effie’s replacement in the Dreams. Thin and beautiful, she sings bottom in harmonies. BIG BELT. Must move very well.
