What an era! What a show!
Performed by a cast of veteran entertainers and their band, including former members of The Jones, Main Ingredient, & The Marvelettes peppered with Broadway savvy performers who had leading roles in “Dream Girls,” “Your Arms Too Short to Box With God,” “Porgy & Bess” and “Showboat,” Forever Motown is an entertainment bonanza.
This non-stop, high energy trip down memory lane features the songs America grew up with. Great attention to detail was paid by musical director Gary Kupper (who had his own Broadway hit show, “Freckleface Strawberry” and is currently in production with a new musical called “Rock and Roll Man”). The iconic Motown Sound was recreated down to the slightest vocal and musical nuances – to emulate American icons like Marvin Gaye & Tammie Terrell, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, Gladys Knight & The Pips, The Temptations, The Four Tops, The Supremes, Stevie Wonder, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, Lionel Richie, Mary Wells, and more. The look & feel of authenticity extends to costumes from Tony Award winning designer Evie Ross and classic Motown choreography from American Dance Theater director Terri Giordano.
Sing, dance & celebrate the music of your life to songs like “My Girl,” “I Heard It Through The Grapevine,” “Reach Out,” “Shop Around,” “Dancin’ In The Street,” “Stop, In The Name Of Love,” “Ain’t Nothin’ Like The Real Thing,” “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” “How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You),” & “Uptight,” – nearly 30 non-stop hits in all!
The truly talented and charismatic cast is a perfect blend of look, sound & personalities, which are tailor-made for the songs they perform. Cumulatively, the cast members have performed on recordings with over 30 million record sales and over 40 years of both on and off Broadway experience. The director, musical director, choreographer & costume designer have jointly won over 25 of America’s most prestigious theater awards for their direction, choreography and staging.
