"Memphis is Mighty, Magnificent, Miraculous...ingenious staging and direction, energizing, fresh and joyful choreography and an infectious dynamite score!" said the Houston Chronicle and the Toronto Star called Memphis "an explosion of energy, joy and emotion you won't want to miss!... with singing that rocks your soul and dancing that rocks your world!" "Memphis is a Masterpiece!" exclaimed BroadwayWorld.com.
Memphis takes place in the smoky halls and underground clubs of the segregated '50s, where a young white DJ named Huey Calhoun fell in love with everything he shouldn't: rock and roll and an electrifying black singer. Memphis is an original story about the cultural revolution that erupted when his vision met her voice, and the music changed forever. Come along on their incredible journey to the ends of the airwaves -- filled with laughter, vibrant choreography and roof-raising rock 'n' roll.
Adam Arian will re-create the original direction by Tony nominee Christopher Ashley ( Xanadu), Jermaine Rembert will re-create the original choreography by Sergio Trujillo (Jersey Boys).
The show features a Tony winning score with music by Bon Jovi's founding member and keyboardist David Bryan and lyrics by Bryan and Joe DiPietro (I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change), who also pens the musical's book. Bryan and DiPietro also collaborated on the award-winning off-Broadway hit, The Toxic Avenger. Memphis is based on a concept by the late George W. George (producer of the Tony nominated Bedroom Farce and the film "My Dinner with Andre").
Scenic Design for Memphis is by Tony Award-winner David Gallo (The Drowsy Chaperone, Reasons to Be Pretty), Costume Design is by Tony nominee Paul Tazewell ( In the Heights), Lighting Design is by Tony Award winner Howell Binkley (Jersey Boys) and Sound Design is by Shannon Slaton.
