    Mowtown was a great experience

    by dbubbles on 10/11/17Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    The musical caught your attention from the first scene and held the entire time. The cast, costume and storyline were incredible. I am very glad that I had gotten the seats on the main floor as the view was spectacular. I would suggest this show to everyone.

    Incredible & Amazing Talent!

    by MusicArtPerformance on 10/11/17Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    What a wonderful production and definitely the highlight of my trip to Chicago! It was a sell-out performance with no room to spare. The performers who enacted the specific characters in Barry Gordy's life brought them to life, and it seemed I was sitting before the actual singing "Greats"! I especially loved the lady who performed as Diana Ross. She was outstanding in her interpretation, her humor, and improvisation of this character. I enjoyed ALL others, including the Marvin Gaye character. The voice range of all these singers was thrilling! The storyline kept us on the edge of our seats. Even the artistic backdrop was fabulous. I would attend another performance without question, and be just as entertained and enthralled as this first time. I was pumped and energized after leaving the theatre. Worth the price for the better seats! The theatre will offer you booster seats if you are short and unable to see over the next row. Thank you Motown! Hope to see you soon again!

    Motown won my heart

    by Lucyoh on 10/11/17Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    I was so unexpectedly surprised by this amazing performance. The acting, singing, choice of music, and storytelling was all spot on and amazing! I am recommending this to everyone if all ages and would see it again in a heartbeat! There wasn’t one thing I didn’t like about it. It moved fast and it was like You were actually transported back to Detroit during the time of Motown. Five stars from me.

    Motown the Musical good not great!!

    by Sun236 on 10/11/17Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    Motown the Musical was good but not what I expected! I thought it would be more of the music instead of the story of Motown. Could be so much better if it had more of the music!!

    Much more than expected.

    by BC2010 on 10/11/17Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    When we purchased our tickets to Motown the Musical we were expecting lots of fun, singing along, and good entertainment. We got so much more! If you are expecting exact replication of the 60’s music you might be disappointed. The music has a few tweaks, but wow! We sang along, had fun and learned so much about the era, not only musically, but there was a sobering history lesson that came along with the entertainment. When the entire audience stood with hands joined and raised up high and sang “Reach out and Touch Somebody’s Hand” it was magical. We would love to see it again.

    Great Story

    by Anonymous98765094ytoslso on 10/11/17Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    MoTown. We all know the music and the musicians, but I did not realize the interesting story behind the music. The human relationships and the rise and fall of the MoTown music label as a business and the cult of personality that ran the business. Highly recommend this musical which mirrors life.

    Loved this play.

    by Danakelly on 10/11/17Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    I loved this play. The cast had great voices. The costumes of the starlets were amazing. The only thing i didnt like was a few moments in the play where they used foul language. It only happened about 3 times but it was noticeable. Other than that it was a must see. The music from that era is great. Much accolades to the young cast who really brought to life the performers of that day.

    Motown was fantastic!

    by MuffyC58 on 10/10/17Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    Motown was terrific from the very start to the very end. So great to hear so many of the Motown classics in one sitting. A great story behind all of the music. The Cadillac Palace Theater is a great venue.
