"MEMPHIS"

"Memphis" is set in the places where rock and roll was born in the 1950s:  the seedy nightclubs, radio stations and recording studios of the musically-rich Tennessee city.  With an original score, it tells the fictional story of DJ Huey Cahoun, a good ole' local boy with a passion for R&B music and Felicia Farrell, an up-and-coming black singer that he meets one fateful night on Beale Street.  In Memphis, 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.  As their careers rise, the relationship is challenged by personal ambition and the pressures of an outside world unable to accept their love.

"Memphis", a rollicking new musical is like a non-stop ball of energy.  From the first notes of its electrifying opening number "Underground" right up to a rousing finale called "Steal Your Rock 'n' Roll Memphis", delivers one energetic song after the next, with some of the best singing and dancing found on Broadway.  Although the story deals with serious subjects regarding race, it's never heavy-handed in the telling.  It's hard to imagine leaving "Memphis" without being lifted by its high-octane entertainment.
