The show was fabulous. The theater not so much. The seats are tight and the bathroom lines are ridiculous. I drove 3 hours to see the show and I'm glad that I did. I will not however attend another event at the Fisher Theatre based on the reasons I listed above. The Fox Theatre is better. I wished there had been more of the top hits from various artist. It seemed that the relationship of Berry Gordy and Diana Ross was the central theme.
This was a fun experience,my wife and i enjoyed it very much.
Loved It! My best friend and I saw it in Detroit and as a HUGE fan of the Motown Era, I was in musical heaven. Everyone did amazingly well. The actor playing young MJ was at the top of his game. MJ would be so proud. BG's character was also on point. While I have never been a fan of The Supremes or Diane Ross, the actresses did a great job. I could go on and on, but the bottom line is that if you have not one to see it yet, YOU MUST GO!
This was a great musical especially for native Detroiters! I would see it a second time!
it was fantabulas! I cried and laughed. The little guy who played Michael Jackson was wonderful! great voice. I would love to see more stories of motown. Smokey should have a big story to tell behind the writing of songs, and singing them too. Just loved it! Thanks for having it for all of us to see.
The show brought back great memories, kinda long but I could have sat another hour. Loved it!
The show was fantastic! Helped us relive a great time in our lives - back when life was so much simpler and music was fantastic. There never has been and never will be another Motown! Would definitely go see it again
The cast was incredible, the songs were amazing and they welcomed the audience to sing along. It was opening night and everyone did a great job. The young Michael Jackson did such a great job you felt like you were watching the Jackson 5 live on the Ed Sullivan show. There was a large emphasis on Diana Ross, it would have been nice to spend more time on the other groups as well. But the music is so great it didn't matter.
During our show, the real Berry Gordy, Stevie Wonder, Smokey went on stage and sang. Awesome event. I lucked out.
It is one of the best I've ever seen. You are completely engaged in the birth of Motown and the beginning careers of great singers, while at the same time reminded and uplifted by the intertwining historical overview and discharge of blatant segregation in our country. We left the musical singing “Reach out and touch somebody’s hand, make this a better world if you can.” You won’t want to miss seeing these talented singers, actors, and beautifully crafted stage settings.
The show was absolutely fabulous! All of the performers did an excellent job in their portrayal of each singing group. I loved the outfits, the singing and the show entirely. It brought back lots of memories of Detroit and how it was the happening place to be. i can remember how anyone that could sing or play an instrument were trying to get to Detroit a be discovered by Motown.
Motown the Musical was awesome! The acting and singing was great and very realistic. The costumes were beautiful and the stage was great also. Worth every penny, would recommend to all.
If you love the music you'll love the show. The performers were spot on and the venue is perfect. I was really fortunate to see the real Barry Gordy Jr., Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder and few other Motown originals who appeared after the performance to thank everyone.
the whole show was very entertaining and everyone was beautiful. I really enjoyed the show
the singers/dancers/actors that played so many different parts were un-believable. The young Michael Jackson was really spot on. The costume department also gets very high marks. I would see it again! LOVED IT!!
This show was amazing. We really enjoyed the singing. These singers are very talented and did an exceptional job!! My husband and I are looking to take our daughter back before the show leaves Detroit. Very impressed!!!! Marvin Gaye and Michael Jackson were two stand outs but everyone was so fantastic!!!
Yes, they finally brought it home! Being from Detroit, you expected this to be a phenomenal production. It was every bit of that. The familiar story was brilliantly portrayed with some surprises. The characters we know so well were extraordinarily portrayed. Of course, the star of the show was the MUSIC. My, my, the music. it is all about the music. One amazing hit after another. A special moment when Berry Gordy decides to name it Motown, you will get a chill!. It was all amazing!
What a fantastic show! If you are in Detroit, also make sure to visit Hitsville USA, Motown museum, seeing this 1st made the musical even better. So wonderful to follow the history and then see it come to life on stage. The cast did an amazing job. Costumes, music and the stage sets and colors were great. Highly impressed.
If you like Motown music this show is a must see. Fantastic!!!
