The Magic of Motown

The Magic of Motown Overview

Ain’t no mountain high, ain’t no valley low, ain’t no river wide enough to keep The Magic of Motown from getting to you...

  • It’ll be there on the double: direct from The States, the UK’s biggest Motown concert tour celebrates 50 years of number one songs with its brand-new arena show.
  • There in a hurry: the non-stop spectacular features 36 massive hits from The Supremes, Temptations, Four Tops, Jackson 5, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Martha Reeves, Lionel Richie and more.

An all-star cast, that original Detroit sound, 16 sparkling costume changes plus amazing choreography: the Magic of Motown will be getting to you in 2012...

What the media says:

'...an incredible cast, dazzling costumes and classic tracks... this is a must-see show for all Motown fans'

'From an era of style and sequins, the show was slick, stylish, smooth and infinitely sexy'

'...spellbinding all the way through'

'With great harmonies, booming bass, blissful horns and some superb dance routines this is a show that delivers music and memories in equal measure'

'Direct from the USA, this superbly talented cast performed effortlessly and seamlessly with the sweet, smooth sounds of The Temptations, Four Tops, Diana Ross, Marvin Gaye and a superb rendition of the Jacksons'

'The choreography and costume changes were immaculate and more than a few hearts fell in love with the lovely solo singer Natasha Burnett'

'All of the singers and the band were of the highest calibre – each could have carried the show on their own'

'The evening throbbed with music... oh, the songs were back to back'
