This four-time Tony Award winner, including Best Musical, begs you to turn up the dial. Inspired by actual events, Memphis introduces a white radio DJ who wants to change the world and a black club singer who is ready for her big break.

Turn up that dial… from the underground dance clubs of 1950s Memphis, Tennessee, comes a hot new Broadway 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, soaring emotion, and roof-raising rock ‘n' roll. Winner of four 2010 Tony Awards(r) including Best Musical, Memphis features a Tony(r)-winning book by Joe DiPietro (I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change) and a Tony(r)-winning original score with music by Bon Jovi founding member David Bryan. Directing is Tony(r) nominee Christopher Ashley (Xanadu) and choreography is by Sergio Trujillo (Jersey Boys)
