Motown The Musical – Location, Tickets, Reviews
Motown: The Musical is a big, splashy musical featuring all your favorite songs from the Hitsville USA catalogue. Seriously – all of them. Over 40 Motown classics are crammed together to tell the story of the legendary studio’s early days and rise to prominence, focusing on the life of the label’s controversial founder, Berry Gordy. You’ll see all your favorite Motown artists – Diana Ross, Marvin Gaye, The Jackson 5, Smokey Robinson and more – played by very talented people you’ve likely never heard of before now.
Is it a great new American musical? The critics are split, but really, does it matter? If you love the music (and of course you do), Motown: The Musical will deliver precisely what you want – a greatest hits album brought to joyous life onstage.
