I loved this musical. My auntie who I went with said she didn't like the actor who played Berry Gordy (on our night, the main actor was sick so they used the understudy) she said he didn't sing the songs right. But as someone who is too young to have known Motown in its golden years, this was the best I could get. And it really was the best. All the songs are covers so i knew a lot of them and could sing along. And the actors who played the singers were so fantastic! Stevie Wonder was the spitting double of the real deal and it honestly could have been the real Diana Ross singing.... so believable! They even did this cute little bit were they let the audience sing. They picked some lady who was a bit shy but turned out to be amazing! And some over confident young fellow who is lucky we were too polite to laugh at his futile attempt at Stop In The Name Of Love...

Overall, fantastic play! Up there in my top 5 for sure!
