#InTheLoop | Big Motown Show at QPAC on Feb. 8. Then Get Ready for the Eagles, Michael Jackson, Crooning, the Circus, and Opera

Legacy

You’ll be dancing in the streets – and the aisles – while your imagination runs away with you.

The Queensborough Performing Arts Center hosts Legacy: Motown & More on Saturday, Feb. 8, at 8 pm.

Launched in 2019, Legacy is an NYC-based male vocal group featuring members from Broadway’s “Motown The Musical.” With fancy footwork and harmonies, they deliver hits from the Motown Era (naturally) and other favorites spanning from the Beatles to Bruno Mars.

Ticket prices run from $35 to $50.

Legacy’s founder is Justin Reynolds, who can make a strong argument that he was born to perform Motown. Touring since graduating high school, the Illinois native played Smokey Robinson twice – in the Broadway National Tour of “Motown The Musical” and in “The Marvin Gaye Musical.” He’s also headlined tours with Celebrity Cruises, Princess Cruises, and MSC.
