    Motown was a blast!

    by Anonymous on 10/9/17Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    This was such a fun show - the music was music that everyone knows, and singing was encouraged! The cast had so much energy and really captured the artists. The best voice of the show was Matt Manuel, who played Marvin Gaye. Definitely a must-see if you're near a show!

    Spectacular, Memorable, Enjoyable, Delightful!

    by MellowB217 on 10/9/17Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    Oh my goodness, Motown the Musical was so good! I highly recommend it. So much fun hearing and seeing the great music of awesome artists we came to love back in the day being performed by these young actors/dancers/singers. Awesome cast! Amazing costumes! Truly enjoyable and memorable production. Both my aunt and cousin and I were very glad we saw it.

    I loved it; my son, who was with me, wasn't as enthusiastic, wishing there were fewer songs with more time for each. The set was uninspired, but the cast was -- we agreed -- superb.

    A Fun Evening!

    by AnnieSavoy on 10/9/17Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    My husband and I both were thumbs up for this production. The actors were talented and entertaining, the musical numbers had you dancing in the seats! Even though the show was named 'Motown' this was the Barry Gordy story as told by Barry Gordy so it did get a little thick at times (still can't figure out the 'I can't get it up for Diana' scene) but overall a totally enjoyable experience.

    Motown

    by DISNEYGRAM111 on 10/9/17Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    The voices were awesome! I wanted to hear more of most of the songs, not snippets of the songs! They crammed it with 50 songs. Less songs, fuller versions would have been much more interactive with the audience.

    Great actors and actresses with a very close feel and stage presence.I was in the front room and thoroughly enjoyed the show, they bring the crowd into the fun and it reminds you of the good times when music made you feel good. They most definitely bring back the joy and the young lady who played Diana Ross and young man who played Berry Gordy were awesome! The entire cast brought it and I'llsee it over and over again.

    Amateur hour

    by Ken372 on 10/7/17Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    This musical is based on a wonderful American success story about great music and outstanding artists which written so poorly and performed so badly that the ushers opening the exit doors was the highlight of the evening.

    Exceeded my expectations!!!

    by Momma60 on 10/7/17Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    What a fun show! The singers we're outstanding, the energy non-stop, and the songs and story so memorable. My only criticism is the portrayal of Stevie Wonder, I thought it did not give him enough credit in the history of Motown. The actress who portrayed Diana Ross... perfection!

    Motown The Musical - FANTASTIC

    by dragonatac on 10/7/17Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    We had such a wonderful time this evening at the Cadillac Palace. The music, the sets, the story, the performances. It took me back to when I was a kid and brought back great memories. I'm so happy that I was able to see the show.
