Went to the Liverpool Philharmonic on Sunday to see the show. Absolutely fantastic - fortunately we were sitting on the back row - danced all night as eventually the rest of the audience did.
Took me back to my youth and have to say the artistes were brilliant - totally professional - it's a must see show, I'm still singing today !
Have just booked to go to see the show again at the Southport Summer Classics - don't think you can get a better recommendation than that, do you ?
p.s. Must mention that the audience was of mixed ages which I thought was wonderful - Motown will live on, hopefully forever.
Brighton - Theatre Royal Sunday 16th November, Fantastic show! Would recommend The Magic of Motown to any fan - just the best - didnt want it to end!

If you're a real Motown fan, don't bother with this. The girls were OK, but the blokes were flat, and couldn't make the high notes. I've loved hearing Motown songs for years, but I felt these blokes chewed up my favourite songs and spat them back out at me. They bulldozed their way through the numbers with little subtlety. Particularly dreadful were their take on the Four Tops, and particularly laughable Jackson Five.
I've seen better at caravan parks frankly.

Event Venue: O2 - Indigo2
Motown Karaoke show, including non-Motown songs from Gladys Knight (Midnight train to Georgia) and the Drifters (Under the boardwalk). Strange setup of black singers and an all white band, with the keyboard player looking like someone out of Peter Kay's Pheonix Nights. It was my first time at the Indigo2, so not sure if it was the room acoustics or simply poor sound engineering, but the 'music' was drowned out by completely overblown bass. I retired to the bar where a couple of expensive pints made everything sound more agreeable. Eclectic running order included Diana Ross in her 80's disco phase (I'm coming out) and a couple of 80's Lionel Richie numbers - hardly the 'Magic' of the golden era of Motown. Fortunately, a few of the classics managed to make it and were gratefully received by the middle-aged audience. The show finished with the 'Jackson Five' wearing clown outfits and huge afro wigs. It was rather 'uncomfortable' to see Michael portayed by one of the girl singers, although she did sound a bit like him !! Overall, a show you would expect to see at your local town hall rather than the O2... and the spirit of the 'Black and White' minstrals is alive and well...
We went to the Pavillion theatre in Rhyl last night to see Magic of Motown, wow what a show lost my voice from singing and cheering.
Would recommend this show to all, brilliant entertainment.
