Event Details
About The Temptations: The Temptations, often referred to as American music royalty, are world-renowned superstars of entertainment, revered for their phenomenal catalog of music and prolific career. They are one of the most iconic, bestselling brands in the entertainment world today. While the group has evolved over the years, Dr. Otis Williams has continued to lead the group and carry the torch forward for the next generation of Temptations' fans. The Temptations are headlining concerts around the country throughout 2025. Their concerts include fan favorites such as "My Girl," "Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)," "Ain't Too Proud to Beg," "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone," and more.
Ranked #1 in Billboard magazine's most recent list of the "Greatest R&B/Hip-Hop Artists of All Time," The Temptations also appear in the magazine's 125th Anniversary list of the "125 Greatest of All Time Artists." In addition, Rolling Stone magazine named the group among the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time." In September of 2020, the editors of Rolling Stone magazine commented that The Temptations are "Indisputably the greatest black vocal group of the Modern Era...," and listed the group's Anthology album among the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time." The Anthology album has appeared in all three of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums' lists.
The Temptations have been the subject of a smash hit Broadway musical, Ain't Too Proud: The Life and Times of The Temptations, based on Otis Williams' personal journey, which opened on Broadway at the Imperial Theatre on March 21st, 2019. The musical received 12 Tony nominations, including Best Musical, and won the Tony Award® for Best Choreography at the 73rd Tony Awards at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on June 10, 2019. Now on tour, the Musical is scheduled to open in theaters in more than 50 cities across the U.S. during the next several years. Ain't Too Proud opened in the UK, in the West End of London, at the Prince Edward Theatre on April 20, 2023.
