Is Dreamgirls Still Coming in this season?

There were rumors of setbacks and moving to spring 2027 or a future season but I don’t know where it stands now.
Given that Sonia Friedman has the biggest musical of her career, Paddington, opening this season and there are already some other major revivals coming up, I would not be surprised if they delay to 27-28.

The official website has since removed any references to opening in the Fall of 2026. I’m actually a little bit shocked by this, but also I wouldn’t be surprised if there were financial issues, but also a desire to not compete against EVITA (which is all but a guaranteed blockbuster) and THE SOUND OF MUSIC (which is going to be a crowd favorite for the older LCT patronage)
Not to mention Paddington and Warriors also being the new musicals that will be fighting for the lion’s share of the oxygen as well.
At last rumored understanding, they had a cast assembled already:
Aisha Jackson - Deena
Kayla Davion - Lorrell
Tiffany Mann - Effie (Arica Jackson as the standby/matinee Effie)
John Clay III - CC
Joshua Boone - Curtis
J. Harrison Ghee - Thunder

Time to get a more interesting Deena then.

Apparently Aisha, Tiffany, and Joshua were all being replaced for the next workshop.

Tiffany would be a phenomenal Effie and it would be a star-making moment for her that's long overdue, so that's disappointing, but workshop casts don't always continue with the show when it's primetime.
I'll believe that a Dreamgirls revival is actually happening on first preview and the curtain is up. This show has been discussed coming back for nearly a decade and has been delayed time and time again.
