The Motown story is coming to Broadway next
spring, with Brandon Victor Dixon playing the role of the
trailblazing Detroit record label's founder Berry Gordy. Gordy and fellow producers Kevin McCollum and Doug Morris announced Monday that "Motown: The Musical" will open April 14, 2013, at New York's Lunt-Fontanne Theatre. They say preview performances will begin March 11.
Valisia LeKae has been cast in the other lead role as Supremes singer Diana Ross.
Dixon received a Tony nomination for his performance in "The Color Purple" and received a Drama Desk Award nomination for "The Scottsboro Boys."
LeKae has appeared in the Broadway musicals "The Book of Mormon," "Ragtime," 110 in the Shade" and "The Threepenny Opera."
Charles Randolph-Wright is directing the show.
