“AIN’T TOO PROUD” – The Straz Center – Tampa

SOLD OUT

Activity Level:2

Founded in 1960 Detroit by Otis Williams, Paul Williams, Melvin Franklin, Eddie Kendricks, and Elbridge “Al” Bryant (later replaced by David Ruffin), Ain’t Too Proud is the electrifying new musical that follows The Temptations’ extraordinary journey from the streets of Detroit to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. With their signature dance moves and unmistakable harmonies, they rose to the top of the charts creating an amazing 42 Top Ten Hits with 14 reaching number one.
The rest is history — how they met, the groundbreaking heights they hit and how personal and political conflicts threatened to tear the group apart as the United States fell into civil unrest. This thrilling story of brotherhood, family, loyalty, and betrayal is set to the beat of the group’s treasured hits, including “My Girl,” “Just My Imagination,” “Get Ready,” “Papa Was a Rolling Stone” and so many more. This is your chance to discover the incredible true story behind those hits and more, and how — along with Motown label boss Berry Gordy, Jr., and songwriter Smokey Robinson — they helped change the face of American popular music.
