Motown - The Musical Reviews

Dan Jackson from San Diego, California

SPOTTY

The production touches many memorable tunes which helped shape my youth. Most of the songs are presented in abbreviated format, otherwise the show would run twice as long. I did not read the book the show was based upon, but the production overly focused on the Diana Ross and Supremes Motown connection. Lost were the many story lines that could have been told about the Temptations and Four Tops for example. The performances were terrific except for the portrayal of Michael Jackson which shouldn't ever be attempted by anyone! Particularly notable was the portrayal of Diana Ross - excellent. Worth seeing for pure musical entertainment, but not necessarily the story line or character development beyond Barry Gordy and Diana Ross.

MOTOWN

Great idea but the singers did not do well singing many of the Motown hits Would be much better if they had voices close to the Artists who sang those great hits

Mike from Montreal, Quebec

MOTOWN

Mediocre acting , dull sets , too long . Musical performances slightly better than cruise ship entertainment ,

THE MAGIC OF MOTOWN

The show was very disappointing. The same singers performed for different artists. Example: The Four Tops were the Temptations ,etc. Waste of my 306 dollars for two tickets,as well as my time! Poor representation of Motown.

MOTOWN THE MUSICAL/BUFFALO,NY

This show was horrible and a waste of our money. The singing was off and the band played too loud. I would love to get my money back. All the other reviews I read maybe they were not the same singers/band members.

MOTOWN - THE AUDIENCE SANG BETTER!

This is the worst show I’ve ever seen. From the beginning to the end, not one performer could carry a tune. I had my fingers to my ears, because the “singing” (which was more like screaming) literally hurt my eardrums! I went out in the lobby at intermission and never went back in for the 2nd act. Unfortunately I was with a bus group, so I couldn’t leave the venue entirely. I talked to a manager at intermission and voiced my disappointment with the performances (along with a couple of other people). She apologized and gave us a number to call to pass on our displeasure of the show. I did call today (Saturday), and was told to call back on Monday. SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!
