Saw MOTOWN today.
In any normal Broadway year, the climax of the show would be Berry Gordy getting a well-deserved Tony Award. Such a sweeping, ambitious show, so powerful and moving. And yes, it is so much fun, too, it doesn't skimp on the fun - but so much more! And for readers of this blog, for me to say that about a "jukebox" show - well, let's think of it as a powerful play that had to be told with THIS music!

CHATTING IS A SHOW'S BEST FRIEND
