This year is special as it marks 50 years of hits from the Motown record label.

The Magic of Motown revives all-time favourites such as Stop in the Name of Love; Signed, Sealed, Delivered; My Guy; What Becomes of the Broken Hearted; and I Heard it Through the Grapevine.

Show producer Michael Taylor said: “Sadly, many of the original Motown legends are either no longer with us or longer touring.

“The Magic of Motown is the nearest you’ll get to authentically capturing their incredible musical legacy in a live show.
