From Deadline
Jennifer Hudson, who won an Academy Award for her portrayal of Effie White in Bill Condon’s 2006 film adaptation of the musical Dreamgirls, is joining the producing team of the stage revival heading to Broadway this fall.
Directed and choreographed by Camille A. Brown, Dreamgirls features a book and lyrics by Tom Eyen and music by Henry Krieger.
“Twenty years ago, my life changed forever because of a film called Dreamgirls,” Hudson said in a statement. “Inspired by the iconic stage musical, I was given the opportunity of a lifetime to portray the one and only Effie White – a woman whose story and voice remain an ever-present force in my life. I am beyond honored to join the extraordinary producing team behind this special, newly reimagined Broadway revival, and to help bring Dreamgirls back to the stage through the visionary direction and choreography of Camille A. Brown. This fall cannot come soon enough.”

Jennifer Hudson has no ZERO History in Professional Broadway Production, she is NOT trained in theatre,
She brings her name recognition this project only, which happens regulary on Broadway, TV, & Film, artist get paid for lending thier name to the Production Credits.
Good for her
I love it. Why should Yts be the only ppl producing Broadway plays. It would be nice if some actors from original cast had a spot back in the show. I will be there.
I hate that out of control hooker afro wig she wears. LOLO
Love this♡
The only thing it takes to be a producer is money. She's not casting, directing, or writing and she don't need to. why all the hateration
Too bad they can't bring back the original B'way Dream Girls, Sheryl Lee Ralph and Loretta Devine. I heard they were smokin'!
