Warne Theatre Presents A MOTOWN CHRISTMAS SPECTACULAR 12/17

The music and magic of Motown will come to the Warner Theatre just in time to get you into the holiday spirit on December 17 at 7:30 pm. The Motortown All-Stars and Rock & Roll Hall of Famers The Original Vandellas will be singing your favorite Motown hits of the era as well as holiday classics sung in that inimitable Motown style. So, "Get Ready"... it's the most wonderful time of the year and this will be both groups' only area appearance this holiday season.

The Motortown All-Stars feature an all-star line-up of vocalists and musicians assembled from the ranks of the Capitols and The Miracles and former members of the Temptations. These vocalists have each performed with Motown legends on stages around the world and now they've come together to deliver the biggest Motown hits, complete with impeccable harmonies, dazzling choreography, flashy outfits and a 12-piece orchestra of live strings and brass, adding yet another level of excitement to those instantly recognizable grooves, "My Girl", "Ain't Too Proud to Beg", "Ooh Baby, Baby", "Signed, Sealed, Delivered," as well as holiday classics like, "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" and "Silent Night."

Rock & Roll Hall of Famers and Motown legends, The Original Vandellas, Annette Beard-Helton and Rosalind Ashford Holmes, began their career with Berry Gordy at Motown in 1962 and have stood the test of time. From touring the world to being one of the very first "girl groups" inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the group's importance in the history of American music is well-documented. Rolling Stone Magazine has named the Vandellas to their list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All-Time." Don't miss this chance to see authentic rock and roll legends in action. The Vandellas' hits include "Come and Get These Memories", "(Love Is Like a) Heat Wave," "Jimmy Mack", "Dancing in the Street", "Quicksand", "Nowhere to Run" and many others.
