Dancing in the Streets Theatre Tickets

Playhouse Theatre Northumberland Avenue, London, UK WC2N 5DE

Experience the energy, excitement, emotion and electricity of Motown. Groove to the classic sound of Detroit in this sensational nostalgia trip.

Strains of pure Motown gold will be wafting out of the theatre as Dancing In The Streets continues to shine in the West End. The musical features songs from a host of Motown's biggest stars, including Diana Ross and The Supremes, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson and Marvin Gaye.

In the early 1960s, in a town called Detroit, local kids were looking for a form of expression they could call their own. They found it at the Motown Hitsville studio. In 1959, Berry Gordy, a successful songwriter with his first big hit under his belt, decided to form his own record company: in a timber frame bungalow at 2648 West Grand Boulevard, Detroit, Tamla Motown Records was born. During the years that followed, black soul music started to reach a white audience and the rest, as they say, is history...

A full 40 years after the Motown hurricane hit Britain, this new musical aims to recreate the unique atmosphere which surrounded one of the most influential and enduring popular music movements.

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!

Celebrate Christmas with Dancing in the Streets in London! A special Christmas version of this show runs from 4 to 30 December.

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
