Dancing in the Shadows of Motown returns to The Art House at Wyong on June 2.
Motown is an American record label owned by the Universal Music Group.
It was founded by Berry Gordy Jr. as Tamla Records in 1959 and incorporated as Motown Record Corporation the following year.
Its name, a portmanteau of motor and town, has become a nickname for Detroit, where the label was originally headquartered.
Motown played an important role in the racial integration of popular music as an African American-owned label that achieved crossover success.
In the 1960s, Motown and its subsidiary labels presented a style of soul music with a mainstream pop appeal.
Motown was the most successful soul music label; during the 1960s, Motown achieved 79 records in the top-10 of the Billboard Hot 100.
The new-look show will feature even more magical Motown hits.
A 10-piece powerhouse band featuring internationally acclaimed artists will faithfully recreate the dynamic live performances of artists such as The Temptations, Stevie Wonder, The Supremes, Marvin Gaye, Martha and The Vandellas, The Four Tops, Fontella Bass, The Jackson Five, Smokey Robinson and many more.
The amazing and uplifting show presents classic hits including: Reach Out, Stop In The Name Of Love, Ain’t Too Proud To Beg, Heatwave, Get Ready, I Heard It Through the Grapevine, Dancing in The Streets, Uptight, Signed Sealed Delivered, You Can’t Hurry Love, Ain’t No Mountain High Enough, Standing On Shaky Ground, My Girl , Can You Feel It and more.
The dynamic “all-singing all-dancing” band has performed at many sold out shows all across Australia and internationally.
