Rousuck’s Review: "Motown the Musical" is a Hit Parade That Misses

Joan Marcus

After 19 months on Broadway, the touring production of Motown the Musicalis in Baltimore at The Hippodrome Theatre through March 13th.

Adapted from Motown Records founder Berry Gordy’s 1994 memoir To Be Loved, the production is a walk down memory lane that features notable Motown hits and original music.

Theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck joins Tom in the studio to discuss the musical’s highs and lows.
