Ain't Too Proud – The Life and Times of The Temptations is the electrifying, new smash-hit Broadway musical that follows The Temptations' extraordinary journey from the streets of Detroit to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. With their signature dance moves and silky-smooth harmonies, they rose to the top of the charts creating an amazing 42 Top Ten Hits with 14 reaching number one.
Nominated for 12 Tony® Awards and the winner of the 2019 Tony Award for Best Choreography, Ain't Too Proud tells the thrilling story of brotherhood, family, loyalty, and betrayal, as the group's personal and political conflicts threatened to tear them apart during a decade of civil unrest in America.
Written by three-time Obie Award winner Dominique Morisseau, directed by two-time Tony Award winner Des McAnuff (Jersey Boys), and featuring the Tony-winning choreography of Sergio Trujillo (Jersey Boys, On Your Feet!), the unforgettable story of this legendary quintet is set to the beat of the group's treasured hits, including "My Girl," "Just My Imagination," "Get Ready," "Papa Was a Rolling Stone," and so many more.
Excellent show. Songs were as I remember, singers were terrific and story line was interesting.
I loved every moment of this new Broadway show! Wow! The performers were so talented and exuded great energy. They really told the story of The Temptations so well. This is now one of my favorite shows, and I can’t wait to see it again!!!
The music was great. The live orchestra were unbelievable. The cast was such a talented group of singers, actors and dancers. I want to see it again.
Great show. Loved it!!!Magnificent cast and crew. The band was awesome.
The music was of course fantastic. Learned some things I didn't know about the group.
This is a show that is not to be missed if you are a Motown fan. Performances of their music are perfection, and the talent is amazing.
One of the best productions I have seen in years. Don't miss it!
From walking into the beautiful ornate theatre, to the very great customer service by ushers to the performances, it was excellent! The story of the Temptations has been told before, but I loved the way the play weaves in and out of performance of those timeless songs into very poignant stories of their lives as men off stage as well….and the humor sprinkled throughout. I thoroughly enjoyed the performances of every one….amazing talent!! The band was awesome!! I was ready to dance and sing all night after viewing Ain’t Too Proud To Beg!!
Great singers and dancers. I was so engrossed the whole time
It was a wonderful play, the music and characters were true to form
Even though I grew up and love there music to this day.I feel if you have seen the movie it's the same as the play.The dancing and costumes were great but as I started the movie said it all. And those seats in the theater are so bad on your knees there was just no room to stretch your legs out until intermission
The show was fantastic! The music, the storyline, the wardrobe, everything - except for our seats. We were In the last row and they are made for 99# people no taller than 5’ tall. We still made the best of it!
The musical was absolutely great. The Venue was perfect, there were no bad seats. The singing we spot on. Hand the story line was definitely accurate. My husband and I loved it. I would definitely go again.
I loved the show first time seeing a play in awhile and it was absolutely amazing.
Spectacular cast, vocals, choreography! Just loved it. Would def go see it again!
Wonderful show: story, acting, and oh the choreography/dancing💥💥💥 The only slight downside was that the music was not the original charts that I grew up listening too — good but could have been better.
The show was amazing. Extremely talented cast, great costume design and the choreography is outstanding! I loved every moment. It laugh out loud funny, emotional when needed and a joyous time.
Ain’t Too Proud To Beg did not disappoint. Told through the eyes of Otis founder of the Temptations. Excellent musical show and highly energized. While there were sad moments in The Temptations life drugs, abuse and racism: it was handled with grace. The play will have you singing and dancing on your feet. The live orchestra was superb. It was difficult to leave and sad to realize that era is over
Excellent show- it tells both a story as well as a musical. Great musicians, entertaining and upbeat.
It was amazing. The actors and actresses are so talented. It was so classy and professional. One of my best experiences in my life. I recommend everyone to see this show!!!!
