A surprisingly enjoyable jukebox musical featuring phenomenally-performed song-and-dance spectaculars (but with an awkwardly delivered story structure), this touring version of the 2019 Broadway musical about the founding of Motown's R&B supergroup The Temptations is a fun evening at the theater, especially for those looking for a nostalgic trip.

Recently, BroadwayWorld had the chance to sit down and talk with Shelly Berger, the current manager of The Temptations who has been with the group for over sixty years. We discussed what it has been like to see himself portrayed on stage, the journey of Ain’t Too Proud across the pond, and even Berry Gordy’s first reaction to the show!

Get ready for an electric musical performance! Ain’t Too Proud: The Life and Times of the Temptations tells the story of the world’s most famous R&B group. Boasting a whopping 30 songs, robust orchestra, and slick, Tony Award-winning choreography, the show is a spectacle in every sense of the word. 

On September 12th, AIN’T TOO PROUD: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF THE TEMPTATIONS presented by Broadway Across Canada premiered at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver.
