“Motown: The Musical” opens on Broadway
Written by admin on April 15, 2013 – 9:44 pm -“Motown: The Musical” debuted at Broadway’s Lunt-Fontanne Theatre on Sunday night, following a month of previews.
The show tells the story of how Berry Gordy Jr (played by Brandon Victor Dixon) founded the Motown label and took the world by storm with more than 50 classic hits by stars such as Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson and The Miracles, The Supremes, The Temptations, Martha and the Vandellas, and many more.
Producer Kevin McCollum says:
“It’s the story of how one man formed a family through art and talent, and transformed America not by guns, not by politics but with music. There’s no mistake, and it’s not arbitrary that when our president won the election again, ‘Signed, Sealed, Delivered’ was played. This is music that gets under your skin, so that skin color and politics no longer matter.”
“Motown: The Musical” – Highlights
Among those in attendance for the opening night were Berry Gordy, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, and Diana Ross. Robinson, Gordy and Ross joined the cast on stage at the end of the show.
