Genre: Musical
Released: 1969-11-12
Duration: 1 h
Rating: 8.5
Cast: Diana Ross, Mary Wilson, Cindy Birdsong

This was a follow up TV special to the hugely successful TCB. This time, Diana/Supes & Temps went to the Broadway Stage to show an adult audience how well they can perform some of the great show tunes from some of the top Broadway shows of the era. They also showed off some acting talent as they performed mini-skits of some of the shows. In reality, this was really just a show put together to cash in on the success of TCB. But that's not to say it doesn't have any credit of its own. Again great performances by both acts and superb stage outfits. These groups were the coolest/classiest on the scene at that time. Well worth watching - but you ain't gonna hear any of their big hits!!!

The musical genre features stories that combine music, singing, dancing, acting, and often spoken dialogue to tell a story or convey a narrative. Musicals incorporate various elements of drama, music, and choreography to create a cohesive theatrical experience that engages audiences on multiple levels.
