A Motown Christmas scheduled at Municipal Auditorium

ALBANY – “A Motown Christmas” kicks off the 2025 holiday season with a family-oriented, singalong holiday spectacular on Dec. 10 at 7 p.m. at the Albany Municipal Auditorium.

“A Motown Christmas” features a world-class vocal group assembled from past and present members of three of Motown’s most legendary groups: The Temptations, The Miracles and The Contours. “A Motown Christmas” is a powerful show combining Motown’s greatest hits with everyone’s favorite holiday classics. The show features Motown’s trademark dazzling choreography, and unforgettable harmonies performed in that memorable, soulful Motown style.

The show’s stop in Albany is part of the groups’ annual Holiday Tour that includes 25 shows scheduled in 10 states.

Over the course of their career, the Temptations have released four Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 singles and 14 Billboard R&B No. 1 singles. Their material has earned them three Grammy Awards. Like its “sister” female group, the Supremes, the Temptations’ singer lineup has changed frequently over the years.

The Miracles have charted more than 50 Billboard hit singles between 1959 and 1978, including 26 Top Ten Billboard R&B Hits, with four R&B No. 1s. Sixteen of their songs reached the Top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100, with seven songs reaching the Top Ten, and two, 1970’s “The Tears of A Clown” and 1975’s “Love Machine,” reaching No. 1, with a third song, “Shop Around,” reaching No. 1 on the Cash Box magazine Top 100 pop chart.

In the 1960s, The Contours charted eight hits, including Motown’s first million-seller and its fastest-rising hit of all time, “Do You Love Me.” In 1988, after the release of the movie “Dirty Dancing,” “Do You Love Me,” which was a featured song in the movie, roared back on the charts, outselling its original performance many times over.

Tickets will be available at Ticketmaster.com or in person at the Georgia’s Own Box Office located at the Albany Civic Center on Friday, starting at 10 a.m.. For additional information about the show, visit FlintRiverEntertainmentComplex.com.
