New book Dreamgirls Description: Novelisation of the hit movie musical (DREAMGIRLS, at cinemas everywhere - February 2 Cert 12A) of the Motown era, starring Jamie Foxx, Eddie Murphy, Beyonce Knowles and Jennifer Hudson. Open to great success in the States, DREAMGIRLS has seen both Murphy and Hudson tipped for Oscars. Set in the late 1960s and early 1970s, DREAMGIRLS follows the fortunes of a trio of women who have formed a promising girl group. They are soon discovered by an ambitious manager, Curtis Taylor (Foxx), who offers them the opportunity of a lifetime. Finessing a spot supporting smokin' hot James "Thunder" Early (Murphy), Curtis catapults the girls - and himself - into the limelight of the emerging Motown sound. But as Curtis leads the Dreams closer to the top, and less talented but more malleable Deena into the lead spot originally occupied by soulful Effie, things start falling apart. As a new musical age dawns, Curtis' ambition pushes the one-time family into a place where they hardly recognise themselves: their dreams are finally there for the taking, but at a price that may be too heavy for their hearts to bear.
