Memphis features musical direction by Jerold Goldstein and choreography by Lauren F. Elias, with a professional pit orchestra.

From the underground dance clubs of 1950's Memphis, Tennessee, comes the musical that bursts off the stage with explosive dancing, irresistible songs and a thrilling tale of fame and forbidden love. Inspired by actual events, Memphis is about a white radio DJ who wants to change the world and a black club singer who is ready for her big break. Come along on their incredible journey to the ends of the airwaves - filled with laughter and roof-raising rock 'n' roll. MEMPHIS features a Tony-winning book by Joe DiPietro and a Tony-winning original score with music by Bon Jovi founding member David Bryan. (Theatrical Rights Worldwide)
