Motown musical to open next April
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 28 August 2012
A new stage musical telling the Motown story will formally open on Broadway next April with previews from March, the show’s producers have announced.
‘Motown: The Musical’ will be directed by Charles Randolph-Wright, and will feature Brandon Victor Dixon playing the legendary record label’s founder Berry Gordy, and Valisia LeKae playing another key character, Diana Ross. Songs aplenty from the early Motown catalogue are expected to appear.
Gordy himself is one of the producers of the show, alongside Sony Music chief Doug Morris and leading Broadway producer Kevin McCollum.
