About the Song
"One Night Only" is a song from the 1981 Broadway musical Dreamgirls, with lyrics by Tom Eyen and music by Henry Krieger. In the context of the musical, "One Night Only" is performed twice in succession, as differing versions of the song - a soul ballad by the character Effie White and a disco version by her former bandmates Deena Jones & the Dreams - compete on the radio and the pop charts. Henry Krieger began composing for Off-Broadway while in his ‘20s, during which time he met lyricist Tom Eyen. Together they created the score for the landmark 1981 Broadway musical DREAMGIRLS, which received six Tony Awards. Mr. Krieger won a Tony nomination for his score to DREAMGIRLS, as well as the 1982 Grammy Award for Best Original Cast Album. Two years later, his musical THE TAP DANCE KID opened on Broadway, earning a pair of Tony Awards. He collaborated with Bill Russell on the Broadway musical.    Download this sheet!
