The Kravis Center’s “Ain’t Too Proud”: A Toe-Tapping Tale of The Temptations

Growing up in a family with a strong appreciation for music and an enjoyment of songs across genres and decades, I recall loving The Temptations’ music from a young age. Since they’re one of Motown’s most iconic groups with a catalog full of chart-topping tracks, it’s safe to say that many people over many years had the same experience as I did! As the Kravis Center closes out its spectacular 2024-25 season, I could truly think of no better production to end it with than Ain’t Too Proud: The Life and Times of The Temptations, running through June 29. Energetic, powerful, and heartfelt, this show will have audience members dancing in their seats throughout, whether they only know a few of the group’s songs or all 30+ that are featured in the show. “Get Ready” to immerse yourself in the unforgettable journey of The Temptations and celebrate their enduring legacy.
