Ok, I got a question. Why is the actor playing Berry bald headed? Berry was never bald headed when he owned Motown. Glad we get to see the girl that plays Martha in action. She's kind of a big girl, ain't she? I think she'd have been better as Cindy Birdsong. She can sing, though... although it's not what i'd call a true Motown style, at least it ain't full of melisma.. so that is a bit heartening. That boy that plays Michael was a good choice.

The Berry Gordy character looks more convincing here with some hair on his head, I hope he is characterized as he is here, playing a bald BG will not work and won't be convincing. Also is there going to be Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell character in the show, I hope this is not a music ensemble if it is I can watch the Motown 25 and get a closer effect. I can't wait for the reviews to come out before i make a reservation, and who is playing the Late Mary Wells & the two Supremes in the show ???

The people playing the Supremes are just part of the ensemble cast according to the official Motown musical website.

Sounds like that lady playing Martha Reeves got some pipes on her.

I will embrace it from the bottom to the top and to Broadway. Sounds like this will be MOTOWN 50 a couple of years late but right on time. If this does not open up the rest of the Motown catalog and the rest of the never on DVD releases then I don't know what will.
