Beyoncé, Jennifer Hudson and Anika Noni Rose form the ultimate 60s girl group - The Dreamettes! Desperate for fame and fortune they find themselves at first being uplifted, then pushed and pulled apart by their managers and the music industry. Based on the hit West End show, this Oscar-winning film is now a classic. Singing along is *strongly* encouraged!
