It was announced today that MEMPHIS, a new musical about the birth of rock 'n' roll in the turbulent 50s which recently played a critically acclaimed and sold-out engagement at Seattle?s 5th Avenue Theatre, is aiming to open on Broadway in the fall of 2009. Based on a concept by George W. George (producer of the Tony nominated Bedroom Farce & film: My Dinner With Andre), MEMPHIS features a book & lyrics by Joe DiPietro (I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change), and music & lyrics by Bon Jovi founding member David Bryan, in his Broadway debut. The new musical is directed by Tony nominee Christopher Ashley (Xanadu) and choreographed by Sergio Trujillo (Jersey Boys).
This summer, Broadway?s hottest musical made Canadian premiere electrifying audiences at the Toronto Centre for the Arts, extending twice and garnering extraordinary critical acclaim. Today, Dancap Productions Inc. and Jersey Boys are pleased to announce that the show will remain in Toronto!
'After our first eight weeks of performances, it has become ever so clear that Jersey Boys and the great city of Toronto seem meant for each other,' says Michael David, Producer of Jersey Boys. 'We are most excited to join with Aubrey Dan and Dancap to perpetuate that relationship hopefully for a very long time to come.'

In their latest example of cross-border cooperation, two
entertainment industry charities are sharing $32,000 after cast members of
the US national touring company of Jersey Boys collected donations from
audiences during their stop in Toronto in the last two weeks of November.
The Toronto-based Actors' Fund of Canada and New York-based Broadway
Cares/Equity Fights AIDS (BC/EFA) have collaborated in the past, sharing
donations collected from audiences at other shows on Broadway and in
Toronto.
Jersey Boys' fundraising success came in the weeks prior to installing a
new, mostly Canadian cast to carry the show through to March 1. It follows
on the heels of Actors' Fund curtain speech fundraisers at Dancap's Toronto
revival of The Drowsy Chaperone last season and performances of Avenue Q,
presented by the company in the fall of 2008. Commenting on the relationship
between the Actors' Fund and his company, Dancap President Aubrey Dan said:
'Dancap Productions is delighted to assist the Actors' Fund of Canada in any
way possible. We have the greatest respect for artists and those who work
with them to create and perform the top-notch productions Canada offers to
the world. We know the Actors' Fund does extremely valuable work for members
of our industry and we endorse it wholeheartedly.'
