PERFORMANCE PREVIEW
ith stages dark across the country right now, we can only hope that the scheduled performances for 2021 stay intact. Louisville has grown to expect the best Broadway shows each season, and the condensed season in store for next year will have audiences excited to be back in the theatre. w One of the hits that we can all get excited about is Ain't Too Proud – The Life and Times of The Temptations. Coming to The Kentucky Center July 27 to Aug. 1, 2021, it’s the electrifying, smash-hit Broadway musical that follows The Temptations’ extraordinary journey from the streets of Detroit to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The sizzling show is filled with hit songs, perfect choreography, and snazzy wardrobes that bring back memories of the 1960s and ’70s, when music was changing and civil unrest was high.
Nominated for 12 Tony Awards, Ain't Too Proud tells the thrilling story of brotherhood, family, loyalty, and betrayal, as the group's personal and political conflicts threatened to tear them apart during a decade of civil unrest in America.
The unforgettable story of this legendary quintet is set to the beat of the group’s treasured hits, including “My Girl,” “Just My Imagination,” “Get Ready,” “Papa Was a Rolling Stone” and so many more.
The show debuted in 2019 to sold out theatres and rave reviews from notable media outlets and patrons alike. With their signature dance moves and silky-smooth harmonies, The Temptations rose to the top of the charts, creating an amazing 42 Top 10 hits with 14 songs reaching No. 1.
Written by three-time Obie Award winner Dominique Morisseau, directed by two-time Tony Award winner Des McAnuff (Jersey Boys) and featuring the Tony-winning choreography of Sergio Trujillo (Jersey Boys, On Your Feet!), Ain’t Too Proud will visit on over 50 cities across America on its nationwide tour.
