The Motown Revue was a blockbuster hit in the square when it first premiered in 2019. Theater owner, Raul Thomas, is determined to jump start the pulse of the Square, located in the heart of Marietta. As summer approaches, restaurants are starting to seat at full capacity, indoor and out. Residents are looking for prime entertainment to accompany “a night on the town” and this show has it. Audiences can’t wait to get back to the fun of theater.
The show will feature local talent that has been a part of the Atlanta area theater scene for several years including Avis LaShawn, LaMonte Williams, Jamie Moreen, and Lauren Highsmith. Stewart, creator of the show, will once again direct and choreograph the high energy production. This version has added 12-year- old, Antavious Seals as Michael Jackson. Every show will feature a lottery to win up to 4 free tickets per show. A portion of the lottery proceeds will support theatrical summer camps.
