Musical about Motown Records' history
Mega music company Motown Records made musical history. A key player in the racial integration of popular music, the label boasted its own trademark 'Motown soul sound' with artists such as Michael Jackson, Diana Ross and Stevie Wonder on their books. The iconic institution is now being celebrated on the West End with the transfer of Broadway hit Motown the Musical.

The musical is based on the 1994 memoirs of Motown Records founder Berry Gordy. As the record label celebrates its 25th anniversary, stars begin to gather and a series of flashbacks reveal how Motown became a global phenomenon.

Motown music show London

Jukebox musicals are rarely renowned for their plot (with the possible exception of Mamma Mia), but with songs such as 'I Heard it Through the Grapevine', 'Dancing in the Street' and 'My Girl', we defy anyone to see Motown the Musical and not find themselves singing along.

  • HISTORY OF MOTOWN RECORDS

    Motown records were founded by Berry Gordy Jr in 1959. Originally called Tamla Records, it gained its name from the combination of 'motor' and 'town' which also came to stand as a nickname for Detroit, the city in which the company was founded. It was the first African American owned record label to achieve significant mainstream success and paved the way for greater integration in pop music.

    The score, story and energy was all spot on. It really captures your attention and transforms you back in time to when Motown started. Young Michael Jackson Read more
