FOREVER MOTOWN - SUNDAY - OCTOBER 16 - 7 PM
FOREVER MOTOWN Sunday, October 16 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM The Showroom at the Monroeville Convention Center Monroeville, PA
Performed by a cast of 12 veteran entertainers, including former members of The Jones, Main Ingredient, The Spinners & The Marvelettes peppered with Broadway savvy performers who had leading roles in Dream Girls, Your Arms Too Short to Box With God, Porgy & Bess and Showboat, Forever Motown resumes its successful theater tour that broke its own box office records in 2011.
The veteran entertainers offer a non-stop, high energy trip down memory lane featuring the songs America grew up on. Great attention to detail was paid by musical director Gary Kupper (currently riding the wave of his own Broadway hit show, Freckleface Strawberry). The iconic Motown Sound was recreated down to the slightest vocal and musical nuance by such American icons as Marvin Gaye & Tammie Terrell, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, Gladys Knight & The Pips, The Tempations, The Four Tops, The Supremes, Stevie Wonder, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, Lionel Richie, Mary Wells & the entire Motown roster of stars. The look & feel of authenticity extends to costumes from Tony Award winning designer Evie Ross and classic Motown choreography from American Dance Theater director Terri Giordano.
Sing, dance & celebrate the music of your life to songs like My Girl, I Heard It Through The Grapevine, Reach Out, Shop Around, Dancin In The Street, Stop, In The Name Of Love, Aint Nothin Like The Real Thing, Aint No Mountain High Enough, How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You) & Uptight nearly 30 non-stop hits in all! Each song captured visually, vocally and choreographically down to the slightest unique nuanced Motown detail.
The truly talented and charismatic cast is perfect blend of look, sound & personalities, which are tailor-made for the songs they perform. Cumulatively the cast members each have performed on recordings with over 30 million record sales to their credit and over 40 years of both on & off Broadway experience. The director, musical director, choreographer & costumer designer have jointly won over 25 of Americas most prestigious theater awards for their direction, choreography and staging.
