Motown the Musical (Touring) Tickets

Quite an education!! It was more of a story line than I expected and we enjoyed that. The music was great. A family event we thoroughly enjoyed.

Stellar!!

Motown - I Love You

Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Calgary

The 'rags to riches' story of Motown Records has always captivated me. How a visionary like Berry Gordy Jr was able to do what he did is part of the reason that moved me over the last 30 years to read books about Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross, Mary Wilson of the Supremes, Berry Gordy, Jr., Stevie Wonder, The Temptations, Motown-the record company, Michael Jackson, Smokey Robinson and David Ruffin. If there was something out there about Motown, I made a point to find it. A few days ago, my wife and 7I went to see 'Motown - the Musical.' It is (for the most part) based on Berry Gordy's book, "To Be Loved," which I have also read. The show captures Gordy’s vision from its embryonic days in the late 50's, to the ‘Motown 25’ celebration that took place in 1983 (a 'celebration' that was filled with intrigue and emotion). For those who have seen 'Motown - the Musical' and feel the way I do about the music, I'm sure you'll agree that there are many magical performances. If you haven't seen the show and you're just a casual fan of the music, you owe it to yourself to learn about the history behind the songs. It is worth understanding, even if it is slanted toward Gordy's opinion. For this fan who closed his eyes and dreamt that he was actually watching the ‘tempting Temptations’ or the Jackson 5, it was an emotional afternoon - and yes, I was moved to tears on more than one occasion. Motown music (and its artists) hold a special place in my heart. It always will. I love the musicians who formed the sound (the Funk Brothers), and to this day I believe that the music and the talent that was developed in that little house in Detroit, ranks among the greatest in Popular music. For 2 ½ hrs today, I walked through the doors of ‘Hitsville USA’ and was part of that magic. Thanks for all the memories, Motown. I love you.

An Entertaining Motown Bio

Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Calgary

Excellent singing and choreography. Seamless set transitions and integration of the Motown story with the music. It was uplifting without minimizing the challenges of race, competition, politics and love.

Entertaining but too long

Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Calgary

the show was quite good but much too long, especially the first half. Diana Ross was great, as was Marvin Gaye and Barry Gordy. The singing and dancing were entertaining but very slow in some parts

Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Calgary

Great cast, story and loved listening to all the old songs.

What an amazing event!

Motown is awesome!

Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Calgary

Great performance, awesome music, amazing costumes, fun show.

Overall disappointing

Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Calgary

I was expecting there to be more audience engagement. There was none. When people hear those old Motown songs it usually gets you fired up but I didn’t feel that way at this show.
