Well glad this thread is back on topic. I’m not shocked to read that Motown the Musical is having script problems. If you go up the page and view the youtube clip of “Berry” and “Diana” performing “You’re All I Need to Get By”, the dialogue they exchange before they sing is awful, simply awful. I hope they are calling in a script doctor because if all the dialogue is on this level, then the show could be a critical disaster.
I went to the message board at broadwayworld.com where theater fans love to chat. The Reidel article has provoked a good sized discussion about Motown the Musical. Here’s the link to the discussion:
