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 went to see Ain't too proud for my birthday this past weekend. The show was ABSOLUTELY fantastic! As a Temptations fan, the actors/actresses did not disappoint. The energy was high, the singing was phenomenal, the narration was amazing and of course the story was one for the history books. I would book a ticket to see this show two or three more times in a heart beat. I how this show returns to my city. A must see for sure!
Nice theater, packed house, excellent performers. Need more restrooms.
The show was great. A very talented cast working very well together and performing legendary songs.
The singing and the choreography was awesome! The performances were wonderful! Excellent portrayals of the greatest R&B group of all time!
Not only was it about the Mighty, mighty Temptations but it was also a history lesson as well. Wasn't here long enough because I definitely would have gone back to see it again.
This was an outstanding by the actors, orchestra, and stage crew. The entire set was gorgeous and I loved how the sets weaved in and out. The actors almost never took a single break during the entire show. I would love to see this one again in another city. The Cadillac theatre itself was a let down. They did not have enough concession workers to get folks back into their seats fast enough during the intermission.
It was really good and entertaining we really enjoyed ourselves thank you
I grew up when the Temps were at their peak. The music took me back to the memories of where I was when that was on the charts. The cast was outstanding, and the story was moved along nicely. This was a Father's Day gift for my husband, and he loved it as well. I loved how the story gave us information on the lives of the group as well as the juxtaposition of the civil rights movement the layers made the story more interesting. I think all of the main players were well cast but my favorite was the Harris Matthew, the actor who played Dennis Edwards he made me smile in the few scenes highlighting his character Everyone was great and I am so glad to have been able to see this production.
One of the best Musicals I've ever attended. Well Done!!!!!
These guys did an excellent job telling the Temptations story! I loved the play and will see it again!
The sining and dancing was terrific we loved every minute.
It was fantastic. The voices of the guys were amazing! The dancing was great and took me back to the 60s. I loved the show. If I were buying an album, I would definitely buy one with these men even tho they are not the Temptations.
I enjoyed every minute, didn't really want it to end.it was also very informative! Great job of acting!
Don’t miss this show- it was nonstop entertainment. Amazing singing and dancing.
The show was absolutely phenomenal. The dancing and singing was so good. Highly recommend going to see.
This show was so much fun! The music, dancing, and stage performance was absolutely beautiful! Very well put together- good mix of acting through scenes and incorporating the music with it. The audience is very engaged, too- we sang and danced along. These actors and actresses poured their hearts into this performance and I can attest they really emulated the original Temptations with pride. The singing was extraordinary…. The dancing was so much fun and made you want to jump up and dance too! I have no idea how these wonderful people are able yo sing and dance with such passion without running out of breath! By far- my favorite show I’ve seen in my 36 years of life. I’ve been to festivals, concerts, rock, jazz, hip hop, rap, dance, house- all different shows. This show blew them all out of the water- not even comparable. If you can see this show- you must. It will complete you. Thank you ti all the actors actresses and band musicians for giving me and my friend the best night of our lives!
We loved the play. The talent and energy were incredible and the story was so well told.
It was a very good show. At the beginning I was just trying to figure out the actor's roles they were playing besides the obvious ones of Otis and David Ruffin actors who were great. All of them were good. I was looking for a skinny Eddie Kendrix but the actor played a good role. Some of the voices although good could never match the real temptation's although some came very close. For example, the actress playing Tammi Terrel was good but I waited for her to hit the soprano note, when she may have actually been an alto. Other than that, the show was very entertaining and I highly recommend.
Fabulous production from begin to end. Set design, Orchestra, and were extraordinary. I convince my niece and her mother in-law to travel to Michigan to see it since both could not make the Chicago production.
What a way to celebrate my 61st birthday. I enjoyed the play tremendously. The cast was exceptional. So much talent on display. The music was exceptional. The band was exceptional. Love the costumes. I encourage everyone to go and see this production. So much excitement.
