Ain’t Too Proud: The Life & Times of The Temptations at Proctors

SCHENECTADY — The first national tour of “Ain’t Too Proud – The Life And Times Of The Temptations,” the new Broadway smash hit musical will play Proctors in Schenectady Tuesday, May 23 through Sunday, May 28.

Ain’t Too Proud… follows The Temptations’ extraordinary journey that began on the streets of Detroit. With signature dance moves and unmistakable harmonies, they rose to the top of the charts creating 42 Top Ten Hits with 14 reaching number one and being voted the greatest R&B group of all time by Billboard Magazine in 2017.

The rest is history — how they met, the groundbreaking heights they hit, and how personal and political conflicts threatened to tear the group apart as the United States fell into civil unrest. This story of brotherhood, family, loyalty, and betrayal is set to the beat of the group’s treasured hits, including “My Girl,” “Just My Imagination,” “Get Ready,” “Papa Was a Rolling Stone,” and many more.

Tickets are available through the Box Office at Proctors in-person, via phone at 518-346-6204

Monday-Saturday 10 a.m.-6 p.m. or online at proctors.org. Groups of 10 or more can get their tickets by calling 518-382-3884 ext. 139.
