The cast of MEMPHIS is all set to Meet with Fans and Perform Live at The Pond at Bryant Park this Thursday, Jan. 21 from 11:30 - 1 pm

The pond is located in Bryant park at 40th street and 6th ave.

Appearing will be four members of the cast- Derrick Baskin, J. Bernard Calloway, James Monroe Iglehart & Cass Morgan. The cast members will meet with fans and perform two songs: "Change Don't Come Easy" and "Big Love."

From the underground dance clubs of 1950s Memphis, TN comes a hot new Broadway musical - inspired by actual events - with heart, soul and energy to burn. He's a young, white radio DJ named Huey Calhoun (Chad Kimball), whose love of music transcends race lines and airwaves. She's a black singer named Felicia Farrell (Montego Glover), whose career is on the rise, but who can't break out of segregated clubs. When the two collaborate, her soulful music reaches radio audiences everywhere, and the Golden Era of early rock 'n' roll takes flight. But as things start to heat up, whether the world is really ready for their music - or their love - is put to the test.
