Ain’t Too Proud has everything you want in a jukebox musical (cracking songs, sizzling choreography) but so much more: a profound and moving story tied to American Black music history.

The choreography is fantastic. Sergio Trujillo has produced some innovative and empathetic movement all while using Motown classic moves.

The story of the Temptations relationship with the music industry really added to the potency of this show and lifted it above the realms of a jukebox musical.

High School citizenship classes would find much to debate, learn and ponder. Viewing civil rights issues in a historically based theatre context would maybe bring these issues emotionally and powerfully alive in a way mere textbooks can’t.
