Ain’t Too Proud, The Musical in Theater – 2021-2022 Performance Schedule

If any musical group deserves their own Broadway biopic, it’s The Temptations. The quintet has been performing for over six decades, releasing countless hit singles and playing a significant role in R&B and soul music evolution. They’ve inspired your favorite hip-hop, electronic, pop, and soul artists and were the original boy band. You don’t want to miss your chance to learn the life and legacy of one of popular music’s most famous groups, which is why you need tickets for Ain’t Too Proud!

How did a bunch of kids from Detroit become one of the most influential R&B groups in the history of music? Ain’t Too Proud tells you all that and more. The musical is based on founding member Otis William’s memoir “The Temptations,” His character serves as the narrator throughout the show. It makes sense, considering Williams is the only one of the original five members still alive today. 

He details the beginnings of how the members came together, the personal conflicts they had to overcome, the political and social revolutions of their time, and the rising popularity of R&B music in America. Despite the popularity of hip-hop and R&B in the 2000s, it was during the peak of The Temptations’ popularity that they helped make the genre as beloved as it is today – despite the civil unrest they faced in the ’60s and ’70s. 

The best part of a musical biopic? You already know most of the songs. “My Girl” is that super sweet song that you maybe sang to your Valentine in middle school. “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg,” “Cloud Nine,” and “For Once in My Life” are classics that you’ve probably heard on the radio once or twice. Each musical number is so full of energy and enthusiasm that you don’t know if you should be thoroughly impressed or concerned that these actors do eight shows a week. 

There are plenty of words to describe The Temptations. Smooth, spiffy, sexy… but the top pick would probably be sultry. The group’s soulful melodies are larger than life on the Broadway stage, especially with energetic choreography and signature showmanship. 

You’re following the show’s plot with anticipation while also waiting for the following musical number to get you in the groove. Check the schedule below and get ready to get lost in Ain’t Too Proud, one of the best musical biopics in the business!
