I am not sure if they will be lip syncing in the live performances.

Would be interesting if this actually heads to Broadway. I'm sure MGIII is working on it!

I'm a little suspicious because in the trailer it says something like "Original Motown Music". I hope that doesn't mean the performers are lip-syncing to the original recordings. As much as I may be the first to point out that the interpreters can never match the original vocalist[[s), I always enjoy more, on film or on stage, if I know the performers are actually doing the singing.

Compare Sissy Spacek's interpretation of Loretta Lynn in "Coal Miner's Daughter" to Jessica Lange's lip-syncing of Patsy Cline in "Sweet Dreams." When Jessica starts to "sing," the whole movie stops while you imagine someone cuing up the tape of Patsy. I always picture something out of "Singin' in the Rain" when Debbie Reynolds had to dub for Jean Hagen!

That being said, when I saw "Motown the Musical," the young fellow who played the 9 year old Michael Jackson was an absolute phenomenon, and when I looked up the review in the Los Angeles Times they said the same thing, except they were talking about the other youngster who played MJ, not the one I saw! So it seems they had two amazing performers in that role, as one child probably isn't legally allowed to handle a role like that on a nightly basis.

It's a great trailer though, creates the right amount of buzz. Gaye certainly deserves a tribute musical.

Okay, not to worry...they do their own singing. Found this interview online:
