Motown Tribute: Iconic Soul Las Vegas Show Review

If you’re a fan of Motown, then you need to go see the superb Motown Tribute: Iconic Soul Las Vegas. When you think of Motown a lot of performers come to mind and the sweet offerings of music were delightful to most people’s ears and hearts.

The Motown Tribute: Iconic Soul Las Vegas has all the makings for a good time down memory road and the superstar Dru Young is ready to deliver lasting memories for you to take home after the Las Vegas show. Young is the ideal tribute artist to pull off this gig of fabulous music that has all the heartbeat of each Motown legend he portrays.

Iconic Soul Las Vegas

The 75-minute production brings many of the Motown greats back to life such as Marvin Gaye, Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, and Smokey Robinson to name just a few. The evening is packed with plenty of high-powered vocals, dancing, and just good memories that have the audience smiling throughout the performance by Young.

Playing at the LaMarre Theater located in the Downtown Arts District, Dru Young doesn’t try to be a tribute artist of someone he doesn’t look like or sound like, so don’t expect anything from famous female Motown singers like Dianna Ross or Aretha Franklin. What you can expect is a heavy dose of Marvin Gaye, Sam Cooke, and some Ray Charles thrown in for good measure.

During the performance you hear plenty of Motown classics from Uptight (Everything's Alright) to Ain’t No Mountain High Enough to You’ve Really Got a Hold On Me to I Heard It Through the Grapevine. Other stellar Motown hits performed that have the crowd swaying and groovin’ include What’s Going On, Just My Imagination, and when Young breaks into a fascinating version of Money (That’s What I Want) the audience is in a frenzy joining along with the chorus.

The choreography of the production is good with Young donning sunglasses for his takes on Stevie Wonder songs, a beard for his look-alike image of Marvin Gaye, and his boy like face is perfect for his Sam Cooke numbers which include Another Saturday Night, Chain Gang, and Young puts his hips into action during Twistin’ the Night Away.

At the end of the evening, the crowd leaves with joy on their face, love in their heart, and little swagger to their step making Motown Tribute: Iconic Soul Las Vegas a perfect show for you to watch.
