"After the huge success of Motown Magic we are thrilled to bring back the production to the audiences who loved it and hopefully to a new audience too."
Produced by Hazel Feldman, the spectacular musical extravaganza tells the story of Motown's mega hits and its effect on many artists and millions of fans throughout the world, 50 years later.
The show takes you back to the 60s with the popular songs of Diana Ross, The Supremes, Smokey Robinson, The Miracles, Stevie Wonder, The Temptations, The Four Tops, Marvin Gaye, The Jackson 5, Lionel Richie and The Commodores, The Marvelettes, Martha Reeves and The Vandellas and Gladys Knight and The Pips among many more.
