An evening of Motown’s greatest hits and holiday favorites performed in the classic Motown style, with impeccable harmonies, dazzling choreography, and a full orchestra, live on stage December 22nd, at The ALL-NEW Diamondback Music Hall. Doors open at 7 PM.
The Motown catalog includes some of the most enduring songs in popular music, with the most universal appeal of any musical form. The Motown style has such strong musical hooks that it has repeatedly been used in everything from movie soundtracks to commercials for the last 60 years. Of course, the holiday season comes complete with our favorite standards playing non-stop on every radio station and in every shopping mall from Halloween through the New Year. There is no better show for the season than the joining of these two timeless musical genres.
The show has a little something for everyone, from holiday standards like The Nat King Cole Christmas Song (Chestnuts roasting on an open fire), to more contemporary offerings such as “Please Come Home for Christmas,” best remembered as The Eagles' re-make of the Charles Brown classic, to the Donny Hathaway R&B favorite “This Christmas.” There is also a sing-along segment with “Jingle Bells,” “Frosty the Snowman,” and others, which is sure to be great fun for kids of all ages. Additionally, a healthy dose of classic Motown songs that everyone knows and loves, such as “My Girl,” “Oo Baby Baby,” and the Dirty Dancing anthem “Do You Love Me,” will be included.
The Motortown All-Stars is an all-star lineup of world-class vocalists drawn from members of legendary Motown groups, The Contours, The Miracles, and former members of The Temptations. Every performance contains that unmistakable Motown stamp, including great vocals, dazzling costumes, slick choreography, and a polished show that has set the bar for every vocal artist since the late 1950s.
The orchestra is made up of seasoned performers who have been the musicians of choice for hundreds of Motown, Nostalgia, Classic Rock, and Doo Wop shows around the country. They have both live performance and recording credits with a veritable who’s who of popular music artists from the '50s through the '70s.
This is sure to be an unforgettable evening for audiences from 8 to 80 and will be the feel-good event of the holiday season.
