On the heels of a sold out, fall 2015 BC BEAT, the next BC BEAT, set for Monday May 23rd, announces a program of eleven choreographers, launches a new BC BEAT Artist Series, and releases a limited number of advance tickets.
The Spring season is officially underway with the start of Memphis at the John W. Engeman Theatre of Northport, Long Island. The multi Tony award winner, directed excellently by Igor Goldin, runs at the gorgeous venue through May 8th and I cannot say enough about this brilliant production. The cast, the passion, the creative team… everything is just top-notch.
The John W. Engeman Theater began performances of MEMPHIS on Thursday, March 24 at 8:00pm and will run through May 8, 2016. Check out BroadwayWorld's coverage of the production below!
Inspired by true events from the underground dance clubs of 1950s Memphis, Tennessee, MEMPHIS follows the fame and forbidden love of a radio DJ who wants to change the world and a club singer who is ready for her big break. Winner of four Tony Awards, including Best Musical, MEMPHIS is filled with laughter, emotion and roof-raising rock 'n' roll, and features a Tony-winning book by Joe DiPietro (I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change) and a Tony-winning score with music by Bon Jovi founding member David Bryan.
