The smash hit Tony Award-winning Broadway musical Ain’t Too Proud – The Life and Times of The Temptations will bring the incredible true story of the greatest R&B group of all time to the West End’s Prince Edward Theatre from 31 March 2023.

Otis Williams, the group’s founding member and an executive producer of the show said: “I am truly thrilled that our Tony Award-winning musical Ain’t Too Proud – The Life and Times of The Temptations, which was a smash hit on Broadway and is currently touring to 50 cities in the U.S., will be opening in the West End next Spring. The UK has always loved our music and embraces it as much today as it did 60 years ago. All of us involved with the show can’t wait to share this very production with you all."

Ain’t Too Proud, which won the 2019 Tony Award for Best Choreography, is the electrifying new musical that follows the remarkable journey of The Temptations from the streets of Detroit to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. With their signature dance moves and unmistakable harmonies, they rose to the top of the charts creating an amazing 42 Top Ten Hits with 14 reaching number one. The rest is history – how they met, how they rose, the ground-breaking heights they hit, and how personal and political conflicts threatened to tear the group apart as the United States fell into civil unrest. This thrilling story of brotherhood, family, loyalty and betrayal is set to the beat of the group’s Grammy Award-winning music including the hits ‘My Girl’, ‘Just My Imagination’, ‘Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone’ and so many more.

Ain’t Too Proud has a book by Dominique Morisseau and reunites director Des McAnuff with choreographer Sergio Trujilio, whose previous collaborations include the Tony Award winning hit show Jersey Boys. The production has set design by Robert Brill, with costumes by Paul Tazewell, lighting by Howell Binkley, sound by Steve Canyon Kennedy, projection by Peter Nigrini, music supervision and arrangements by Kenny Seymour, orchestrations by Harold Wheeler, and music direction by Matt Smith. 

Casting is to be announced soon.
