The musical "Dreamgirls," originally conceived by Tom Eyen and Henry Krieger, has been a staple of American musical theater since its premiere in 1981. The story revolves around the rise and fall of a fictional R&B girl group, The Dreams, mirroring the real-life story of The Supremes. Among the complex characters is Cassandra, a pivotal figure whose relationship with the group's manager, Curtis Taylor Jr., embodies themes of economic dependency and power dynamics. This paper aims to explore these themes through the lens of Cassandra's character, touching on the broader implications of such relationships, including the concept of a "money slave."
