"We are excited to be hosting NETworks Presentations," said James Patrick, executive director of the Velma V. Morrison Center for the Performing Arts.. "This marks the 2nd time in the last two years that Boise has been selected as the location to launch a prestigious NETworks national tour. For close to two weeks, the MEMPHIS cast and crew will be staying in our hotels, eating in our restaurants and rehearsing the show in preparation for the tour. This is a great opportunity for the Center to not only be a catalyst for economic development, but also to garner national recognition. I encourage Boise theatre lovers to attend this world-class production so Boise can continue to be a destination for these special Broadway touring preview presentations."

MEMPHIS takes place in the smoky halls and underground clubs of the segregated 50's, 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.
