Cast members 'proud' to bring Temptations story to Atlanta

You already know the songs of The Temptations, but do you know the story of the Grammy-winning group that turned those songs into timeless classics? The true story of Motown supergroup is told through music, dance, and drama in the Broadway hit 'Ain’t Too Proud The Life and Times of The Temptations,' which takes over the Fox Theatre stage in Atlanta starting Tuesday.

ATLANTA - Cast members "proud" to bring Temptations story to Atlanta:

You already know the songs "My Girl," "Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)," and "Ain’t Too Proud To Beg" to name a few. But do you know the story of the Grammy-winning group that turned those songs into timeless classics? The true story of Motown supergroup The Temptations is told through music, dance, and drama in the Broadway hit "Ain’t Too Proud: The Life and Times of The Temptations", which takes over the Fox Theatre stage in Atlanta from March 8 through the 13 for eight performances.

The show, written by Dominique Morisseau and featuring the group’s most famous songs, opened on Broadway in 2019 and went on to score a dozen Tony Award nominations (winning for Sergio Trujillo’s choreography). The show’s national tour is now crossing the country, and will make its Altanta debut with the upcoming run at the Fox.

For two of the show’s cast members, performing in Atlanta is something of a homecoming. Jalen Harris, who stars as Eddie Kendricks, considers the city a second home thanks to many family and business connections here; meanwhile, Michael Andreaus, who takes on the role of Motown founder Berry Gordy Jr. in the musical, was born in Atlanta.

We recently had the chance to catch up with those two performers ahead of their tour stop here in Atlanta; to hear from them, click the video player in this article. And click here for more information on the Atlanta run of "Ain’t Too Proud: The Life and Times of The Temptations."
