Behind the scenes, however, it often was quite a different matter. There was no shortage of formidable egos, troubled relationships with women, arguments with studio executives , and the many other tensions generated as a result of leading lives spent largely on the road. Director Des McAnuff has assembled a large, multi-talented cast that easily makes you believe you are watching perfect clones of “the authentic” Temps. And best of all there is the brilliant choreography of Sergio Trujillo that echoes the group’s fabulously synchronized moves, its sleek spins and splits, and its distinctive defining gestures.
Also part of the story are Berry Gordy, that Motown “maestro” of business and music, now 92 , and Smokey Robinson , a man of all musical trades. And of course The Supremes are there — that magical trio of glamorous women with irresistible voices — with Deri’Andra Tucker as Diana Ross, Shayla Brielle G. as Florence Ballard, and Traci Elaine Lee as Mary Wilson, all dressed in form-fitting red beaded gowns as they sing “Baby Love.
