This wonderful tribute is the brainchild of Mark Carter who was musical director of the hugely popular and long-running Magic Of Motown for more than a decade. Mark has brought together an incredible cast and stellar group of live musicians to take audiences on an unforgettable journey that boasts 60’s soul, the glitz of disco, the fun of 80’s pop and some of the greatest love songs of all time.
He said: “Endless Love has been developed over many years and I am truly blessed to be working with some of the best people in the business to bring this all-new show to life. From the outset we wanted to create a truly joyful, feel-good show that celebrates the brilliance of Lionel Richie and Diana Ross as well as some of the greatest songs ever written."
"We’ve gone to great lengths to recreate and deliver many of the live arrangements both Lionel and Diana have performed in their own touring productions over the years, as such, this has enabled us to create a bespoke show like no other. Together for the first time!….With hits from the 60s, 70s and 80s, from The Commodores and The Supremes to Lionel and Diana’s solo careers, we recreate musical magic for fans of these two iconic performers.”
