Ain't Too Proud: The Life and Times of The Temptations at Imperial Theatre

As befits a musical about the Temptations, the most infectiously rhythmic of chart-topping R&B groups, Ain't Too Proud keeps time in popular. We don’t mean that solely in terms of a beat that makes you feel like dancing. Of course, as you watch this latest entry in Broadway’s ever-expanding jukebox musical sweepstakes, 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. But it is also true that time, unforgiving and unstoppable, is cannily presented as the shaping element in Ain’t Too Proud: The Life and Times of the Temptations, which opened on Thursday under the iconic direction of Des McAnuff, with glorious choreography by Sergio Trujillo. And what’s more, come down to the world famous Imperial Theatre in New York City for an unmissable night of world class entertainment!
