North Landing Beach RV Resort & CottagesMotown Mania – Starring Masters of Soul
Motown Mania, starring Masters of Soul, brings a high-energy salute to the classic sound of Motown. The performance revisits the label’s golden era with crowd-pleasing hits that keep the groove front and center. A live band supports six vocalists, three men and three women, whose tight harmonies, vibrant costumes, crisp choreography, and confident stage presence honor legends such as The Temptations, The Supremes, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, and more. The music ranges from tender ballads to powerful anthems, all carried by that unmistakable Detroit rhythm. Presented at the Sandler Center for the Performing Arts, the show celebrates the style, spirit, and lasting impact of songs that continue to move audiences.
