The musical, a production of the Jamaica Musical Theatre Company, has been playing to appreciative audiences since opening recently.

The show follows the story of a young female singing trio called The Dreams, who become music superstars. Interestingly, their story mimics that of the three teenaged synchronised swimmers who have qualified to compete in the second Junior Pan American Games to be held in North Carolina next month. The 15- and 16-year-olds will be competing in the solo and duet categories and will be accompanied by head coach Amanda Eyre and judge Tanya March.

The benefit performance will help to defray the costs of attending the meet.

A combination of swimming, dance and gymnastics, synchronised swimming incorporates athletic grace, poise and strength in performing routines in the water to music. The sport was first introduced to Jamaica over 10 years ago as the brainchild of Katherine Lim Sang, founder and head coach until 2008 of Island Aquatics Synchro Club.
