“PRETTY CLOSE TO PERFECTION! As you watch the show you will no doubt find your legs twitching, as if from muscle memory. That’s the urge being translated with such sublime grace by those five natty men on the stage, platonic ideals of stepping high and looking fine. Under the shrewd direction of Des McAnuff, with sensational choreography by Sergio Trujillo, AIN’T TOO PROUD celebrates the collective miracle of a blissfully silken sound forged out of clashing egos, many misfires and life-wrecking hard work into numbers that keep playing in our memories. It refreshingly emphasizes the improbable triumph of rough, combustible parts assembled into glistening smoothness.”
-Ben Brantley, The New York Times
“DAZZLING! The music, of course, is divine, but you’ll love the way they move in hypnotically synchronized union, this quintet of men who made up the mightiest of Motown groups.”
