Over the years, Motown has become
synonymous with some of the greatest names in black soul music
- the Four Tops, the Temptations, Marvin Gaye, the Jackson Five,
Gladys Knight and the Pips, the Commodores, Lionel Richie, Diana
Ross and the Supremes - the list is endless.
All of which, is a far cry from 1959 when songwriter, Berry Gordy
formed his own record company, Tamla Motown Records, in a timber-frame
bungalow in Detroit. But the rest, as they say, is history.
Dancing in the Streets then, celebrates the best of
Motown with hits like: I Heard It Through the Grape Vine,
Baby Love, My Girl, I'll Be There, Where Did Our Love Go? Please
Mr Postman, ABC, You Can't Hurry Love, Tears of a Clown and,
of course, the title song itself.
The Motown musical is directed by Keith Strachan and produced
by Flying Music, the team responsible for The
Rat Pack - Live from Las Vegas.
Prior to Dancing in the Streets, Something
Wicked This Way Comes, featuring illusionist and mind-reader
Derren Brown, runs for a limited period, from May 31 - June 18,
2005.
