Anyone seen ? Aint Too Proud to Beg - The Temptations
Saw the show last night (4 July) and enjoyed it very much. Not full by any means, but a decent sized crowd . performers, band etc excellent. Act 1 concentrates on the formation of group up to the firing of Ruffin. For serious Motown fans, the inclusion of "Since I lost my Baby", "I want a love I can see" , "Wish it would rain" all welcome. I sensed a general feeling at the interval that the "General" public were intersted in the fast paced story, but didn't relate to most of the music.. or knew anything of thr group story...Remember The Temptations didn't tour the UK until 1971. They had no visible presence on TV or big UK hits of any note until the reissue of "Get Rrady" in 1969 and " I'm gonna make you love me". The second Act then contains UK hits of the early 70s which were well received, althougj the inclusion of Harold Melvin's hit is strange....many will think it's s Tempts track. If you can, do go to see the show..it's very good. Ticket wise, the usual agents selling reduced tickets didn't have anything on the day prior to my visit. If in London, I'd suggest buying from agents on the afternoon of the performance when specials may be on sale.

Soul Sister wins the Oaks
A few years ago, we had a daily thread on Soul Source listing "Soul Music" related horses...usually a yankee, lucky 15 or a Patent would be available in the racing listings. Is it time to repeat it?

Soul Sister wins the Oaks
Had a modest bet on Soul Sister, winning at 11/4. Anybody else have it?

Anyone seen ? Aint Too Proud to Beg - The Temptations
Frankie Crocker, Many thanks for the information above. That is very interesting and somewhat confirms my thinking. I had worked out that the Grand Circle wasn't being used. Re Jersey Boys, I think the general "Pop" audience , whilst not knowing , or caring, about the Four Seasons history, would come out of that show with familiar songs ringing in their ears....songs made famous by the Four Seasons, Andy Williams, Bay City Rollers etc. They know the songs...and would tell friends about the great show I'm not sure that the Temptations back catalogue would have that effect. I hope I'm wrong...I'd love to see it tour around the UK. I'm sure serious Motown fans,collectors etc will enjoy this show I have booked a break to London, specifically to see this show. I will check out prices, as they seem to vary on web sites. Thank you for your comments.

I've looked at ticket options, will probably opt for Stalls seats. However, it appears that NO Grand Circle tickets are on sale. Does this mean that this area is " cordoned off" and is "dark"?

Anyone seen ? Aint Too Proud to Beg - The Temptations
I think members of this Parish would enjoy the show . The success of Jersey Boys stemmed from the fact that the general members of the public/ audience would know most of the songs without too much knowledge of The Four Seasons. I'm not sure the same will apply to The Temptations.

Anyone seen ? Aint Too Proud to Beg - The Temptations
As a result of these comments, I've decided to take the plunge and visit London to see the West End show, just in case no UK tour follows. I think the inclusion of "Since I lost my baby" did it!

Anyone seen ? Aint Too Proud to Beg - The Temptations
I would like to see this show, and that probably means a trip to the West End as I'd be surprised if it repeats the Jersey Boys success and tours Nationally. The Temptations don't have the "pop" back catalogue here in the UK. I hope I'm wrong. I saw that one of the USA cast members ( Melvin Frankin bass role) impressed Otis Williams so much that he signed him up for the actual Temptations group stil appearing and recording.
