A finger-snapping, leg-shaking and over the top jukebox Musical, ‘Ain’t Too Proud’ is a heartwarming medley that takes you through the journey and history of one of the greatest R&B and music groups of all time - The Temptations. Having previously performed and captivated audiences at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre in California, the Kennedy Centre in Washington DC, the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles and the Prince of Wales Theatre in Toronto, the uber-talented crew of this production will finally take the stage at the Imperial Theatre on New York’s Broadway, in February 2019.
With a barrage of all-time classics including “Papa Was A Rolling Stone”, “My Girl”, “Get Ready” and “Just My Imagination” along with a brilliant production and creative team, and not to forget the mesmerizing ‘Classic 5’, this is one show you definitely do not want to risk missing out on.
Ain't Too Proud : Broadway Story
‘Ain’t Too Proud’ recounts the remarkable rags-to-riches story of the world-famous Motown vocal group, The Temptations. Based on the book by Dominique Morisseau, the musical centers around how 5 young men from Detroit, through pure grit and determination, rose to the very pinnacle of the music industry and made their way into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Set in the 1960’s, amidst the Civil Rights Movement, the production, through songs, highlights the struggles and difficulties each of the members went through during this telling period in America’s history, and how they overcame these obstacles to become one of the best-selling music groups of all time.
