The show is one of those, which apply already well-known songs. It is usually called a jukebox musical. It is based on both life and an autobiographic book written by the founder of Motown Records – Berry Gordy. All the songs for the production were taken from the catalog of this company. The most outstanding hits were added. The Broadway version was created in 2013. It was staged at Lunt-Fontanne Theatre in April. The first previews started a bit earlier – in March. Charles Randolph-Wright became a director of the musical, Patricia Wilcox made her best in choreography, David Korins made the design, while Natasha Katz was responsible for lightning and Peter Hylenski – for sound. The first run ended in 2015. There were more than 730 performances along with more than 30 previews. In July of 2016, the show is planned to be back on Broadway. This time, it is going to last for 18 weeks and to be displayed at Nederlander Theatre.
West End production has started in Februar, 2016. Ch. Randolph-Wright was chosen as a director again. The cast included C. Neal & L. S. Louis playing the main roles. He also became a director for the tour version of the performance. It was created in 2014. The tour started in April. C. Oliver and A. Semmes were among the leading actors.
