Following the life of the beloved R&B and soul vocal group, Ain’t Too Proud – The Life and Times of The Temptations is a musical tracing the band’s steps from 1960s Detroit to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It covers how the band’s members met, the heights the group reached in their mainstream success, and the personal and political conflicts that threatened to tear them apart. Themes of brotherhood, betrayal, family and loyalty emerge alongside performances of hits like “My Girl,” “Just My Imagination,” “Get Ready” and “Papa Was a Rolling Stone,” complete with the band’s signature harmonies and dance moves. This performance of Ain’t Too Proud is part of a touring production that is currently traveling across America through July.
