Photo Flash: Meet the Cast of MEMPHIS at Theatre Three

By:

Theatre Three presents the Tony Award-winning rock 'n' roll musical MEMPHIS by David Bryan and Joe DiPietro, running April 28 - May 22, 2016, with opening night set for May 2. BroadwayWorld has a sneak peek at the cast in costume below!

MEMPHIS is set in the 1950s where rock 'n' roll was born: the seedy underground nightclubs, radio stations and recording studios of the musically-rich Tennessee city. With an original book and score by David Bryan (keyboard player, songwriter and founding member of Bon Jovi) and Joe DiPietro (I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change and All Shook Up!), it tells the fictional story of Huey Calhoun, a white radio DJ with a passion for R&B music and Felicia Farrell, an up-and-coming black club singer that he meets one fateful night on Beale Street. Despite the objections of their loved ones (Huey's close-minded mama and Felicia's cautious brother, a club owner), they embark on a dangerous affair. Filled with high-octane dancing, songs that perfectly capture the era, and an absorbing tale of fame and forbidden love, the show offers soaring emotion and roof-raising rock 'n' roll.

MEMPHIS is directed by Theatre Three Acting Artistic Director Bruce R. Coleman, with musical direction by Pam Holcomb-McLain and choreography byKelly McCain, starring Kyle Igneczi as Huey Calhoun and Ebony Marshall-Oliver as Felicia Farrell, and featuring a cast of Calvin Scott Roberts (Delray),Babs Ipaye (Bobby), Darren McElroy (Gator), Kristal Seid (Mama Gladys), Mikey Abrams (Mr. Simmons), and LisaAnne Haram (Clara). The ensemble features Monique Abry, Billy Betsill, Victoria Biro, Jeremy Coca, Ayanna Edwards, Brendon Gallagher, Christian Houston, Jori Jackson, Quintin Jones, Nicholas Levingston, Kyle Montgomery, Ian Mead Moore, Abigail Palmgren, Rashaun Sibley.

Performances run on The Norma Young Arena Stage at Theatre Three Dallas / 2800 Routh Street, Ste #168, Dallas. Tickets range from $25-35 and are on sale: online at Theatre3Dallas.com, by phone at 214.871.3300, option #1 or in person at the Theatre Three Box Office.
