Last night (15 June 2017) at the Shaftesbury Theatre Jackie and Tito Jackson surprised the audience as they joined the cast of Motown the Musical after a performance of the West End hit production. On stage The Jacksons met with Motown the Musical' s Raphael Higgins-Humes, Samuel Nicholas, Jay Perry, Simon Ray Harvey and Wilson Kiiru who play The Jackson Five, Cedric Neal (Berry Gordy) and Lucy St Louis (Diana Ross). Gordy signed The Jackson Five to Motown records in 1969 when they released their debut album Diana Ross Presents The Jackson Five, which included number 1 hits I Want You Back and Who's Lovin' You, and last night saw the introduction of the original Motown legends to their West End counterparts.
