About

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.

    I had great seats but I went with a girlfriend who was not into it so we left at intermission. I really wanted to see the ending.

    Talented Beyond Words

    by Chel on 6/8/22Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    I loved Otis's narration; the storyline was great. I appreciated that it included history about the racial tension that the Temptations went through, that made it real. Everyone preformed their character well. Smokey (voice) cracked me up, and David, was David. Overall, I found the play both enjoyable and emotional, plus I learned something, I had no idea that there had been 24 Temptations, wow!

    I LOVED everything about the show. The story behind the music was so interesting and the music was all my favorite songs in one show. The actors were amazing. I wish it was in Chicago longer so I could tell friends to see it.

    The story was incredible! The actors, music, scenery, all played a part telling the story of the greatest male singing group EVER!!! If you didn’t know any better you would think that Otis, Paul, Eddie, David & Melvin were really there performing as usual!. It was an AMAZING, mesmerizing, exciting, enjoyable experience! So glad I was able to experience it before the show left! KUDOS!!

    Phenomenal Experience

    by Ann on 6/7/22Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    This adaptation of the life of the Temptations was a great experience. The voices were exceptional and the performances were done with excellence, humor and a high level of accuracy. I thoroughly enjoyed this show. I wish I could have seen it again and taken more people with me. Everyone should see this performance, especially those who grew up listening to the music of the Temptations.

    Second time was just as good

    by Cybershoppermom on 6/7/22Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    This was my second time seeing the musical as I saw it on Broadway in NY. Cast was phenomenal. Seats were good. Orchestra R Row F. The only negative was the sound system. Better sound in at theater in NY than the traveling sound system at Cadillac Theater. Highly recommend.
