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.

    The play took me back down memory lane.

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

    The play was awesome. It reminded me when music was music and singer could actually sing. The cast line up was spot on. They played the hell out of their character. Love it

    Hard to sit still!

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

    This musical is so much fun, yet also very poignant. I forgot how many fabulous songs the Temptations had! I found the story fascinating and as I said, it was hard to sit still and not get up and boogie! The band is awesome as well. Definitely recommend this musical!

    Temptations experience

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

    The show was awesome from the first note to the last. The back story on all the guys made it one of the best shows I've ever seen. Having all the other competing singing groups and song writers was fantastic. Showing what it was like over the years with Motown and how the song process takes place was intriguing. Congratulations to all the groups you were the best.

    Extremely Entertaining Evening!

    by Stan the Man on 6/6/22Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    We attended "Ain't Too Proud" and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Parking was easy and convenient. The performance was, as expected, filled with great hits from the Temptations. The performers were very talented. The audience was engaged throughout. The story that was told along with the "hit music" was sad and poignant. There were also amusing anecdotes along the way. We highly recommend this.
