About the Show
April 23 - May 15, 2022
Music & Lyrics by David Bryan, Book by Joe DiPietro, Based on a Concept by George W. George, Directed by Aimee K. Bryant
This musical will blast you out the door humming! Inspired by actual events in the turbulent South of the 1950s, Memphis is the story of Felicia Farrell and Huey Calhoun – one a Black singer, talented and determined to share her voice; the other a white radio DJ whose passion for music transcends race lines. As their love of music and each other grow, their lives and communities intersect, causing encounters with prejudices that challenge them to reconsider their relationships, priorities, and dreams. Featuring an original score with music by David Bryan, founding member of Bon Jovi, this show will have you dancing in your seat.
A talkback follows the matinee.
