Broadway's N'Kenge to Perform with Indianapolis Symphony, 11/8-9 - Broadway World

Broadway's N'Kenge to Perform with Indianapolis Symphony, 11/8-9 - Broadway World | music-all | Scoop.it

N'Kenge, who has been busy with Motown eight shows a week will take a quick break from Broadway to perform as a soloist continuing the era of the 60's with Indianapolis Symphony. NY Post calls N'Kenge "Electrifying" in the role of Mary Wells in Motown and she made her Broadway debut in Sondheim on Sondheim alongside Vanessa Williams and Barbara Cook. Indianapolis Symphony will turn back the clock to the 1960's when the "Fab Four" took the world by storm, The Beach Boysmade summer "endless," and The Supremes put Motown on the map. Reminisce with music from television, movie themes, as well as popular hits from the airwaves, including music by Burt Bacharach, Simon & Garfunkel, Frankie Valli and more.

Broadway Review: Motown the Musical

Broadway Review: Motown the Musical | music-all | Scoop.it

It would be difficult to script a tale as compelling as the story of the birth and growth of Motown, America’s most celebrated record label.  Created in Detroit with $800 of borrowed money by former boxer and factory worked Berry Gordy, Jr., Motown defied the business and cultural norms of the time to become “The Sound of Young America” and one of the most influential entertainment organizations in American history.
