(right) "We are thrilled to host the premiere of the 'Dreamgirls' national tour, which is so emblematic of what the Apollo stands for and so magically captures the spirit of this Theater."After its Harlem USA run – where it has become the hottest ticket in town – The 'Dreamgirls' national tour's engagement at Baltimore's Hippodrome at France-Merrick Performing Arts Center begins Dec. 16. Other cities include Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Chicago, Boston, Columbus, Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, Costa Mesa, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Dallas, Kansas City and more.
