AIN’T TOO PROUD – The
Life and Times of The Temptations, which won the 2019
Tony Award for Best Choreography, is the electrifying new musical that follows
the remarkable journey of the group from the streets of Detroit to the Rock
& Roll Hall of Fame. With their signature dance moves and unmistakable
harmonies, they rose to the top of the charts creating an amazing 42 Top Ten
Hits with 14 reaching number one. The rest is history – how they met, how they
rose, the ground-breaking heights they hit, and how personal and political
conflicts threatened to tear the group apart as the United States fell into
civil unrest. This thrilling story of brotherhood, family, loyalty and betrayal
is set to the beat of the group’s Grammy Award-winning music including the hits
My Girl, Just My Imagination, Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone, Get Ready, Ain’t Too
Proud to Beg and so many more.
