Terrence Higgins Trust offers the chance to walk the red carpet at Dreamgirls premiere

HIV and sexual health charity Terrence Higgins Trust (THT) will be benefitting from the UK premiere of “Dreamgirls”, starring Beyoncé Knowles, Jamie Foxx and Eddie Murphy.  The premiere will be taking place at the Odeon Leicester Square on Sunday 21 January and tickets priced £45 each are on sale now with all proceeds to THT.

Set in the turbulent early 1960s to mid 1970s, "Dreamgirls" follows the rise of girl group The Dreams and features the songs 'One Night Only', 'Listen' and 'And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going'.

Debbie Holmes, Director of Fundraising for Terrence Higgins Trust said ”We’re delighted that we’re benefitting from this fabulous event.  All the stars of the film are expected to attend on the night so those lucky enough to get their hands on some tickets could be walking up the red carpet at the same time as Beyoncé herself.”

A limited number of tickets for the premiere are available at £45 each.  For further information or to book tickets please call Stuart Edmonds at THT on 020 7812 1661 or email stuart.edmonds@tht.org.uk.
