An all-star cast, a talented live band that faithfully reproduces Motown’s original Detroit sound, 16 sparkling costume changes and tightly choreographed dance routines saw the show attract glowing reviews last year.
“Sixties classics give way to present-day masterpieces from Lionel Richie and Diana Ross,” says producer Michael Taylor.
“Sadly, many of the original Motown legends are either no longer with us or longer touring.
