Tickets on sale for Temptations musical
People can now buy tickets to “Ain’t Too Proud: The Life and Times of the Temptations.” The all-inclusive ticket is $95 at the Recreation Office in Building 5. The show is on Sunday, Oct. 22, at 6:30 p.m. with an Amphitheater bus pickup at 4:30 p.m.
The Segerstrom Center for the Arts describes the Broadway musical “as an extraordinary journey from the streets of Detroit to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.”
In an interview with the Guardian, the founder and last surviving member of The Temptations, Otis Williams, called the musical a mixture of both pain and therapy: “I always tell people, the world loved The Temptations but The Temptations didn’t love themselves. Drugs came into play and once that happened, dreams and aspirations became fragmented. I am thankful to God for being able to withstand it all.”
The musical does not shy away from the challenges survived by the R& B group through its journey to stardom. The Recreation Department invites residents to enjoy the timeless music of The Temptations and enjoy the beautiful tales of their lives.
Due to the popularity of this event, no refund will be permitted after Sept. 1. Only two tickets will be sold per person. For more information, contact Mayoka at 562-431-6586, ext. 476, or email her at mayokab@lwsb.com.
