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.

    This is one of the best musicals I have seen. It is great from the beginning to the end. Reminds me of my mother, who loved the music of the Temptations. The actors were excellent; the change of scenery. Would definitely see it again and again.

    Tony Awards All around for the production.

    by R. C. S. on 6/10/22Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    Going to see " Ain't Too Proud", was the best spur of the moment decision I've made in a while. All the actors, musicians and stagehands deserve Tony awards. It's funny how the music you grow up on can transform you to a younger age. Don't wait to see , "Ain't Too Proud", -like I did- because you might want to see it more than once.

    The audience couldn't get enough!

    by Hpat on 6/9/22Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    I've been to a lot of theatre shows; however, I've never been to one where the audience was so enthralled by what was happening on the stage that they would audibly gasp or respond to characters out loud. Now, although this may sound like a downfall of the show or a disrespectful audience, it's actually the complete opposite. This show is so inviting that it demands a reaction for which the actors take in stride. The story, the music and the history demands the audiences' attention at whatever cost and I'm so glad that we chose this show. This show is without a doubt provides sunshine on a cloudy day. If you're wondering if this show is the right choice for you, I'll tell you right now... it is !!
