It was based on a Broadway musical which, in turn, was based loosely on the story of The Supremes and Motown in general.

Sorta kind of.. I am old enough to remember when it first came out on Broadway and living in NY it was all the buzz that it was based on the Supremes. Newspaper articles, hangers-on trying to write "tell-all" books, etc etc etc. Of course the two surviving Supremes deny this, but you draw your own conclusions.

That's what the promo for the film said. Haven't seen it yet, but looking forward to.

I've heard that it was, I don't know how true that rumor is though.
