Co-produced by multi-GRAMMY Award winner Frank Filipetti and TONY Award nominee Ethan Popp, the original Broadway cast recording of “Motown The Musical” features a supremely talented cast performing exciting new versions of Motown classics including “Dancing In The Street,” “My Girl,” “You’re All I Need To Get By,” “Where Did Our Love Go,” “I Want You Back,” and many more. Among the album’s 14 tracks are two new songs, “Hey Joe (Black Like Me)” and the showstopper “Can I Close The Door (On Love),” co-written by Berry Gordy, Motown Records’ founder as well as the writer and co-producer of the show. Included in the album’s CD booklet are one-of-a-kind cast photos and two essays, by Mr. Gordy and the director Charles Randolph-Wright.
With a sound that has become one of the most significant musical accomplishments and stunning success stories of the 20th century, the timeless music of Motown continues to be embraced by every generation. “Motown The Musical” opened to great fanfare at the Lunt-Fontanne Theater, with major media coverage, record-setting box office sales, and strong word-of-mouth endorsements from early show-goers, making it Broadway’s hottest new arrival.
