Ain’t Too Proud- a musical review by Lauren Avila

Get Ready cause here they come! The Temptations have made a mesmerizing return to the stage in the national tour of “Ain’t Too Proud- The Life and Times of the Temptations.” With smooth moves, classy costumes, and voices to bring the house down this show is the one to see when it comes to your area. I was grinning from ear to ear and dancing in my seat the whole time. The show immediately opens with one of The Temptations’ well known songs and it takes off like a Rollin’ Stone after that. This production follows a very similar pattern to another Des McAnuff jukebox musical, Jersey Boys. Obviously, if something works well it would be foolish not to use that magic over and over. The sets are minimal but with modern upgrades in theater design, screens and a creative use of floor movement really get the job done. This wouldn’t be a show about the famous five member group without those beautiful matching costumes. The only thing better than a snazzy dresser is one that can move! I will admit that I found myself blushing a few times watching these fellas. The dancing is brilliantly choreographed by Tony Award-winning choreographer, Sergio Trujillo (very nice and talented man). I’ll tell you though, it was the showmanship that really got me: sliding across the stage, playing with the mic stand, throwing the microphone at least 6ft in the air, etc…. A girl can’t help but swoon! To achieve that Temptations sound is rough [insert dad joke about David Ruffin here] but these gentlemen sang from their souls! It was some of the very best singing I’ve heard live. The performance I saw starred Marcus Paul James as Otis, James T. Lane as Paul, Harrell Holmes Jr. as Melvin, Jalen Harris as Eddie, and Elijah Ahmad Lewis as David. I was also lucky enough to catch the highly talented Treston J. Henderson understudying as Al. With hit after hit, this show flies by faster than you can say “temp is for temporary.” You will laugh, you will cry, you will sing along, and you’ll have an unforgettable night at the theater. Go watch “Ain’t Too Proud” when it comes to a city near you! Check here for tickets!
