In early Sixties Detroit, local kids were looking for a style of music they could call their own. They found it at the Motown Hitsville studio.

Part narrative, part concert style, Dancing In The Streets celebrates Motown's overflowing catalogue of hits, including I Heard It Through The Grape Vine, Baby Love, My Girl, I'll Be There and Tears Of A Clown.

In 1959, Berry Gordy, a songwriter with his first hit Reet Petite under his belt, decided to form his own record company and so, in a timber-frame bungalow, Tamla Motown Records was born.

The label built one of the most impressive rosters of artists in the history of pop music - The Four Tops, The Temptations, Marvin Gaye, The Jackson Five, Diana Ross And The Supremes, Lionel Richie and Stevie Wonder, to name a few.

An industrious staff of songwriters, producers and session musicians was also assembled and by 1964, Motown became the largest and most successful independent record company in the US, breaking down barriers both socially and musically.

In the production, Ray Shell plays a former Hitsville soundman who, in recalling the label's glory days, introduces the singers.

They are accompanied by an eight-piece band paying homage to the incredible Funk Brothers, who were recently featured in their own documentary, Standing In The Shadows Of Motown.

Now in its third year, the show is directed by Ivor Novello Award-winning Keith Strachan and presented by the team behind The Rat Pack Live From Las Vegas.

Starts 8pm, tickets £19 and £21. Call 01903 206206. The show also runs at the Theatre Royal Brighton, from July 24-29.
