I have been a fan of motown, soul, blues, for many years. I have listened to and owned Records and CD`s over the years since the sixties. The show was really good, but the seats my wife and I had in the balcony was not good for the accoustics, which was disappointing. My advice to others would be, go to the show but better seats.

The music was great and the performance superb. It was spoiled a bit though by a few people who felt it necessary to be verbally rude to my friends for standing up and dancing to the music. Lots of people were doing it! Had it been the ballet I would have understood but surely Motown is all about the audience dancing!

The lead lady singer was very good amazing voice. All seven sung and all had very good voices. Worth going to even though the Spa was freezing.

This was a great night, the show was amazing, singers had great voices, great stage presence, great outfits! It really reminded you how good the Motown scene was and what great artists and songs were about then.
I took my parents and aunt to the show and they had a ball! By the second song, almost everyone in the audience was up dancing and singing along and smiling!!

Myself and friend had a most wonderful evening; one we shall remember for the rest of our lives which will help to give us strength for our future lives. For me it embodied an era in my life which I am happy to say has been unforgettable and which memories will always be with me. Thank you for a wonderful evening

I enjoyed the evening but it didn't quite have the sparkle I was hoping for. I overheard someone in the crowd saying "it's like a big Karaoke" and I can't help but agree with them. The lead female was okay but was a bit light weight for the songs she was singing. The musicians were spectacular and faultless but the singers just didn't do it for me or my husband. I have seen it and I feel once is enough.

I have seen this show in Bradford, York and now Edinburgh and I would go and watch it every week if I could. I booked this show about 4 months ago and I was on the 4th row from the back of the stalls its that popular. Its for folk who are up for a party, if you want to sit in your seat dont bother going because by the 4th song if not sooner everybody will be on their feet dancing away as was the case here. A fantastic, brilliant super show by the best entertainers around.

sound quality was terrible, choice of songs great and some acts were fab but especially the female singers sounded awful with very little atmosphere. i watched when the men were singing there was loads folk up dancing then the females came on and the were singing pretty upbeat tunes but no one was dancing!!

Fantastic night in Dundee.All ages from teenagers to people in their 70's in the audience and everyone had a ball.Atmosphere was electric right from very first song due to the amazing cast .They were also graciously there at end to sign autographs.Would definately recommend to anyone who loves fun,music and dancing.Will be booking for their return next year whenever the tickets are on sale.

The singers were reasonably talented although I did expect better vocals and I was particularly disappointed that Michael Jackson's part was sung by a woman - and not very well at that. As someone hoping to hear/experience the best of Motown I was also disappointed that they hardly performed any slow numbers, this appeared to be mostly because they wanted the evening to be one big party......I found this approach a bit tacky.
Also I thought the evening was very badly managed, the lights were not turned down/off for about 45mins as so many people arrived so late - why should the rest of us suffer because people can't be on time? So there wasn't much of a concert 'atmosphere' for a while. There was also a disagreement between some people near us over someone dancing in front of someone else's seat - and management/security didn't get people to go outside to discuss it - they carried on discussing/arguing the point whilst the rest of us were trying in vain to concentrate on and enjoy the show. I think the bar should shut once the performance starts and only re-open in the interval.

Had seats but did not visit them we stood dancing throughout the show the singers were very good and it was nice to hear songs we hadnt heard for a very very long time. The only thing I was sad about was there was the sound did not travel loud enough to the bar area in the indigo were we danced the night away. The show was great.
