"Barack Obama is President Because of Motown": Introducing Motown: The Musical

TheaterMania gets a sneak peek inside 42nd Street Rehearsal Studios to watch the cast of Broadway's Motown: The Musical sing, dance, and talk politics.

We spoke with the man himself, as well as members of the cast and creative team behind Motown’s big Broadway break.
