Dreamgirls Audition Date Pushed Back To Nov 22nd

From today's NY Daily News:

Producers of the 2009 national tour of the musical about a Supremes-like trio will hold a casting call for the three female leads at The Apollo Theater in Harlem on Saturday, November 22, 2008. Sign-in is from 9:30 AM - 11:00 AM

Producers announced they were pushing back the audition from Nov. 1 to its currently scheduled date out of respect for Hudson, who lost several members of her family earlier this week.

"Due to the horrific personal tragedy Jennifer Hudson is undergoing, we feel this is not the time for a talent search for a role that is so closely connected with her," said producer John Breglio. Our prayers and thoughts are with Ms. Hudson and her family at this tragic time.

"Never do today what you can put off till tomorrow. Delay may give clearer light as to what is best to be done."
