Playhouse Theatre Northumberland Avenue, London

A spectacular celebration of the most prolific hit-factory ever!

Motown was a prominent force in breaking down barriers around the world and, equally as important, was responsible for producing some of the world's most influential and enduring songs of the 20th century. Dancing in the Streets re-creates the energy, style and music of the stars of the Motown stable. Together they will certainly have you dancing in the aisles!

Following a hugely successful season at The Cambridge Theatre which closed on 22 April 2006, Dancing in the Streets continues at The Aldwych Theatre from 27 April 2006 for a limited time only up to 22 July 2006 after which it moves theatres again - this thime to The Playhouse Theatre from 1 August 2006!

"Glorious... joyous celebration... any devotees of R&B who don't enjoy the show should check their pulse immediately" The Times

Dancing in the Streets will take you through the Motown repertoire made famous by artists such as The Four Tops, The Temptations, Marvin Gaye, The Jackson Five, Gladys Knight and The Pips, Lionel Richie, The Supremes, Martha Reeves and The Vandellas and many more!

"A true ensemble effort that uniting young and old, black and white in the aisles, makes you grateful for the music" The Daily Telegraph

Dancing in the Streets comes into London's West End following extensive UK regional tours and features a full ensemble company of singers, dancers and band.

"The audience shrieked its adoration. If you want a cracking night out and great songs, this show is a must" The Manchester Evening News

"There is no excuse for missing it" The London Evening Standard

"This theatrical equivalent of a compilation CD of tribute bands has been thundering round the country for ages, and arrives in the West End with a cast of talented virtual unknowns who have been drilled within an inch of their lives by Keith Strachan's direction... Relentlessly upbeat, it drives a happily deluded audience out of its seats, oblivious to the poor imitation they are getting." The Sunday Times
