Memphis is a musical that brings the rock-n-roll exuberance, soul, energy, and sometimes innocence of the 1950s to the stage. Enjoy these rockin' sounds while also seeing a story of forbidden love between a black soul singer and a white up-and-coming DJ. Despite warnings from others privy to the situation, the two continue their love, for better and for worse.
Joe DiPietro and Bon Jovi keyboardist David Bryan created Memphis, which went to Broadway in 2009 and stayed for more than 1,100 performances. The Broadway production earned four Tony Awards in 2010, including the Best Musical trophy.
More information on the show can be found at the Kentucky Center or PNC Broadway in Louisville websites.
