Ain't Too Proud 

The Life and Times of The Temptations

 

WINNER! TONY AWARD® - BEST CHOREOGRAPHY

​

AIN’T TOO PROUD is the electrifying, new smash-hit Broadway musical that follows The Temptations' extraordinary journey from the streets of Detroit to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. With their signature dance moves and silky-smooth harmonies, they rose to the top of the charts creating an amazing 42 Top Ten Hits with 14 reaching number one.

​

Written by three-time Obie Award winner Dominique Morisseau, directed by two-time Tony Award-winner Des McAnuff (Jersey Boys) and featuring choreography by Tony Award winner Sergio Trujillo (Jersey Boys, On Your Feet!), AIN’T TOO PROUD tells a 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.

 

“Pretty close to perfection! Under the shrewd direction of Des McAnuff, with sensational choreography by Sergio Trujillo, AIN’T TOO PROUD celebrates the collective miracle of a blissfully silken sound forged out of clashing egos. It refreshingly emphasizes the improbable triumph of rough, combustible parts assembled into glistening smoothness.”
