    A barrel of fun!

    by Dines on 10/29/14Fisher Theatre - Detroit

    The music was great, but I would have liked more Gladys Knight and much less Diana Ross. Why did Berry Gordy want to have that bedroom scene? It was awkward, unnecessary, and way too personal. That said, it was still great entertainment.

    Motown - Great Music, Mediocre Book

    by Roadrunner1950 on 10/29/14Fisher Theatre - Detroit

    Motown according to Berry Gordy is the story of Berry Gordy put to Motown music. Not much of a story beyond the creation of the company and the times it lived through. The music was of course fantastic - it's Motown!! Several years ago we saw Smoky Robinson perform with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra - that was a great show - that was 5 Stars - pure magic, pure smokey. Motown the Musical - 3 stars overall.

    Loved, loved, loved it!

    by LoveJeanne on 10/29/14Fisher Theatre - Detroit

    We absolutely loved the show! It was like watching the history of our lives. I remember all of that. When I got home, I dug out my videotape of the original Motown 25th Anniversary TV show and watched the entire thing. The cast was fabulous! I would heartily recommend this show to everyone, especially Detroiters. I don't think a non Detroiter can appreciate it as much as we do. Loved, loved, loved it!

    Loved the Music

    by BLGCT on 10/29/14Fisher Theatre - Detroit

    I am a too young to remember everything about Motown until the Jackson 5. I enjoyed Motown the Musical. I loved the music and so did my husband. He grew up in Detroit and was more aware of the Motown sound.

    Motown the Musical was phenomenal

    by lonegirl on 10/29/14Fisher Theatre - Detroit

    The actors were amazing. The graphics were also incredible. We sat in the balcony of the theater and the musical was absolutely breathtaking and highly entertaining. I would say to anyone that if you love Motown, you've got to see this.

    I grew in the era of the Motown Revue at the Fox so it was a very good memory.

    Memories

    by Bop123 on 10/29/14Fisher Theatre - Detroit

    Outstanding performance by cast. The production brought back many memories from 60's and 70's. Just my taste, but a little too much Diana Ross and not enough of the other Motown artists.

    Fabulous Fun!

    by Bakes2000 on 10/28/14Fisher Theatre - Detroit

    Toe-tappin' trip down memory lane. Took me from junior high through college with music of the decades. I recommend this to anyone who grew up listening to Motown music. It was a thoroughly enjoyable way to spend a few hours.

    Motown the Musical

    by riccimo on 10/28/14Fisher Theatre - Detroit

    Totally awesome. Would love to see it again. The only negative is that people arrived late and so there was lots of chaos in trying to get them seated. Very annoying.

    Motown is a fun show!

    by Anonymous on 10/28/14Fisher Theatre - Detroit

    The music, singing, and dancing of Motown are pretty outstanding. However, the show is far too long at just about three hours. It is the longest musical I've seen and could definitely have some scenes cut short or eliminated altogether, particularly the Barry Gordy solo at the end.

    Motown the Musical was AMAZING!!!!

    by A2DEE on 10/28/14Fisher Theatre - Detroit

    I felt as if I was sitting in at a Motown Review with Diana Ross, Smokey Robinson and so many others on stage. I will go see this again and again and again. I grew up outside of Motown and the Musical told the story of the era as it happened. Unbelievable musical! I am still talking about it and can't wait to see it again.
