Ain’t Too Proud, directed by Des McAnuff with choreography by Sergio Trujillo, opened on Broadway in March 2019. The Tony-nominated musical, which charts the rise of the famed music group The Temptations, features a book by Dominique Morisseau, music by The Temptations and orchestrations by Harold Wheeler.
