Amber Riley’s Performance Schedule

Find out the dates Amber Riley will not be appearing in Dreamgirls

Amber Riley has confirmed dates for her annual leave from Dreamgirls at the Savoy Theatre. Currently performing as the iconic Effie White, the Glee actress recently picked up the gong for Best Actress in a Musical at the 17th annual WhatsOnStage Awards, beating out West End heavyweights such as Glenn Close and Sheridan Smith.

Making her London debut, the actress had a rocky start with the musical, taking time to rest after she was diagnosed with a bout of pneumonia. Alternates Karen Mav and Ruth Brown stepped in, both earning praise from audiences. Since then, Riley has come back with a bang, reportedly earning a nightly standing ovation for her performance of “And I Am Telling You”.
