Get ready, ‘cause here they come! The Temptations took the world by storm in the 1960s and 1970s with their soulful sound and bold take on social issues. They take center stage again in Ain't Too Proud, a jukebox musical for the ages. Get Ain't Too Proud: The Life and Times of The Temptations tickets on TodayTix.
Otis Williams, the founder and last surviving original member of the Motown vocal group who still owns the group’s name and tours with The Temptations (a group that has seen 24 members over the course of six decades), spearheads the new musical, conceived by director Des McAnuff and choreographer Sergio Trujillo.
The R&B quintet take on iconic hits such as “Get Ready,” “My Girl,” “Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me),” and, of course, the title track, “Ain't Too Proud to Beg” — not to mention various chart-toppers from the Motown era.
