Ain't Too Proud: Broadway Story
‘Ain’t Too Proud’ recounts the remarkable rags-to-riches story of the world-famous Motown vocal group, The Temptations. Based on the book by Dominique Morisseau, the musical centers around how 5 young men from Detroit, through pure grit and determination, rose to the very pinnacle of the music industry and made their way into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Set in the 1960’s, amidst the Civil Rights Movement, the production, through songs, highlights the struggles and difficulties each of the members went through during this telling period in America’s history, and how they overcame these obstacles to become one of the best-selling music groups of all time.
