Dear Moxie. - thank you so much for your generous donation of the tickets! My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the Motown concert! Sorry for the poor condition of our photo at the Balboa Theater…the lighting smudged our camera image, and my camera reversed the image of the Vet Tix letters on our sign. Other than that, we really appreciate your sponsorship!

The Magic of Motown was phenomenal!!! We have been waiting for it to come to San Diego and were so glad to be able to attend. We were singing and dancing in our seats throughout the performance. We got to greet a couple of the performers as we left the venue. Thank you Moxie Events for a wonderful Saturday date night.

Stepping into an evening with The Magic of Motown is less like attending a concert and more like jumping into a time machine set for Detroit in its musical prime. This isn't just a tribute show; it is a full-throttle celebration of one of the most culturally significant sounds in music history, delivered with dazzling energy and pitch-perfect reverence for eyes and ears. The production is a feast for the senses. Dressed in dazzling, era-appropriate attire—glittering gowns for The Supremes' numbers, sharp suits for the Temptations—the cast immediately captures the glamour of the 1960s and 70s. Vocally, the performers are outstanding. They manage the delicate balance of honoring iconic artists like Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and the Four Tops without resorting to simple mimicry. The harmonies, a cornerstone of the Motown sound, are tight and crystal clear, particularly during the ensemble pieces that require intricate coordination. What truly elevates the show is the relentless, back-to-back delivery of smash hits. The setlist is designed as a parade of classics, ensuring there is never a dull moment. The band deserves immense credit; their brass section is sharp, and the rhythm section provides the irresistible, driving beat that defined the label. Whether they are moving through the joyful pop of "Heat Wave" and "Stop! In the Name of Love," or delivering the soulful depth of "I Heard It Through the Grapevine," the energy on stage is infectious. Crucially, this is a highly interactive experience. The cast constantly encourages audience participation, prompting singalongs and getting people out of their seats to dance in the aisles. By the final numbers—often a massive medley of the biggest hits—the venue transforms into a collective party. The Magic of Motown is a spectacular evening that appeals not just to those who grew up with the music, but also to newer generations seeking a dose of timeless soul and pop mastery. If you are looking for an evening of pure, unadulterated musical joy and nostalgia, this show is highly recommended. It’s an electrifying reminder of why Motown truly is, and always will be, magic. Thank you Moxie Events, VetTix.org and the Balboa theater staff for a fun evening.

The Magic of Motown show was such a fun and nostalgic experience! The venue was great and really set the mood for the evening. I loved every song they performed especially the classics from The Temptations, The Four Tops, and so many other legendary artists from the 50s and 60s. The energy, harmonies, and choreography brought the music to life and made you want to sing and dance along. A wonderful show that any Motown fan would enjoy!
