Absorbing, Delightful, Entertaining, Great singing, Must see

See it if you love Motown music & would like to see a live representation of Berry Gordy's autobiography and the history of Motown and its performers.

Don't see it if don't like: Motown music, history of music; or plainly don't want to sing and dance in your seat.
