Michael Jackson Hits Broadway! – First Look at Motown: The Musical

Originally posted 02/25/2013 03:30PM

When Motown: The Musical begins performances on Broadway March 11, Michael Jackson won't be there only in spirit.

The King of Pop will be right on stage – portrayed by an actor, as will several of the other big-name powerhouses from the fabled Detroit hit factory: Diana Ross and the Supremes, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, the Temptations, Smokey Robinson and their '60s record label's founder, Berry Gordy. (They can all be seen in a first-look video clip of the show, exclusive to PEOPLE.com.)
