 The musical, loosely based on the history of the Supremes, follows the story of the Dreams, an all-female singing trio from Chicago who become music superstars.Several of the characters in the play are analogues of real-life Supremes/Motown counterparts, with the story focusing upon the Florence Ballard doppelgänger Effie White.While influenced by the Supremes' and Motown's music, the songs in the play are a broader mix of R&B/soul and Broadway music.
