HOUSTON – ‘Ain’t Too Proud - The Life and Times of The Temptations’ is on stage now on Broadway at The Hobby Center, and one of the stars of the show’s stars is a native of Houston.
We chat with Brittny Smith about her work in the smashing musical which brings the untold story of the legendary R&B quintet known for their hits ‘My Girl,’ ‘Just My Imagination,” ‘Get Ready,’ and more.
The artist, who attended Texas Southern University, gets to show off her vocal and dancing chops in this electrifying production as she plays the iconic Johnnie Mae Matthews, Detroit’s “godmother of soul” and the legendary Mary Wilson of The Supremes.
