Berry Gordy's MOTOWN returns to Broadway this summer, after chalking up over 700 performances in its original 2013 Broadway production that featured an amazing cast recreating the excitement of music legends like Michael Jackson, Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations and so many more.

One of the show's many climactic moments comes when Diana Ross releases her first solo single, "Reach Out and Touch!," and takes the stage for the first time without The Supremes.

Charitybuzz's new auction offers two tickets for MOTOWN and the chance to be a part of that scene, featured on stage for approximately two minutes.

The winning bid will support Vineyard Arts Project, a performing arts residency space and an incubator for the creation of new work in dance and theatre. Located on the island of Martha's Vineyard, Vineyard Arts Project provides visiting artists with the necessary time and rehearsal space to focus solely on the development of their new work. Past artists include Dance Theatre of Harlem, James Lapine, Benjamin Millepied and PigPen Theatre Company. Visit vineyardartsproject.org.

Berry Gordy's Motown the Musical returns to Broadway this summer, beginning performances Tuesday, July 12 at The Nederlander Theatre (208 West 41Street) for a strictly limited 18-week-only engagement through Sunday, November 13, 2016.

The smash hit production, featuring the music of the legendary Motown catalogue and a book by Berry Gordy, will star Chester Gregory as Berry Gordy, Allison Semmes as Diana Ross, Jesse Nager as Smokey Robinson, Jarran Muse as Marvin Gaye, and J.J. Batteast and Leon Outlaw, Jr. as Young Berry Gordy/Stevie Wonder/Michael Jackson.

Motown The Musical concluded its original world premiere Broadway engagement on January 18, 2015 following 775 performances at The Lunt Fontanne Theatre. The original Broadway production grossed over $1 million a week regularly throughout its run and concluded as both a critical and audience favorite and a commercial success, having recouped its $18 million investment at the end of 2014.
