Magic of Motown - The Lyric Theatre
For fifteen years, the Magic of Motown has brought the soundtrack of our lives to life. Backed by a six-piece band that is a show in itself, The Magic of Motown weaves its way through all of the great Motown hits, bringing back the tight harmonies and dynamic choreography that said “Motown” and helped shape American music. In the decade from 1961 to 1971, Motown Records had 110 top-ten hits. The company, founded by Berry Gordy, launched the careers of artists such as Marvin Gaye, The Four Tops, Stevie Wonder, The Temptations, Martha Reeves, Aretha Franklin and the Jackson 5. The Magic of Motown brings the great music of these legendary groups and others beyond the sixties to life. All of the great artists are here and a few, like “Smokey Robinson,” stop by as the dazzling dance routines, glittering costumes and outstanding musicianship take you back to the music that had you dancing in the streets.
