    Motown: fab music, fun audience!

    by GherkNOTL on 2014-08-14Oriental Theatre Chicago - Chicago

    We saw Motown the Musical while in Chicago on vacation. Excellent renditions of all the popular Motown hits. Orchestra and singers were great, including a cute kid who played Michael Jackson as a child. The audience was refreshingly enthusiastic--much less reserved than a typical crowd back home--clapping hands, singing along and bopping around in their seats! Part of the fun was just being with them in the audience!

    Motown the Musical - Awesome show

    by JamesAL on 2014-06-16Oriental Theatre Chicago - Chicago

    This is an excellent show. Lots of the old Motown music and wonderful costumes. If you have the opportunity to see it...you should go. We got last minute tickets for $57 which made it even better.

    An Amazing Night!

    by doly on 2014-06-10Oriental Theatre Chicago - Chicago

    We were in Chicago for a few days and wanted to see something new and different. We grew up with the Motown sound and this show did it all and told the story of a legend, many legends. The singing/acting was delightful and kept you rapt with attention for almost 3 hours.

    Motown the Musical

    by Fishing1 on 2014-05-13Oriental Theatre Chicago - Chicago

    Generally enjoyed the show. Couldn't catch a lot of the dialogue. Seats were too tight. Nice voices but no-one was outstanding. Quite a bit of the story contained reference to prejudices against Blacks. I felt the story should have been more about the music than the segregation. However I guess there were big obstacles to overcome in that regard.
