According to an article in the
Washington Post :
The Kennedy Center and San Diego’s La Jolla Playhouse
announced on Tuesday that the 1997 show, with music by “Dreamgirls”
composer Henry Krieger and book and lyrics by Bill Russell, will be
revived a year and a half from now, starting in La Jolla and later
coming to Washington, with a revised book and score by its originators.
This time around, however, the director will be filmmaker and
screenwriter Bill Condon, who adapted and directed “Dreamgirls” for the
screen and wrote the screenplay for the Oscar-winning film version of
“Chicago.” No casting has been announced.

Center officials say that the show will first be produced at La Jolla
Playhouse, under artistic director is Christopher Ashley, in the fall of
2013. According to Kennedy Center’s president, Michael M. Kaiser, that
