Memphis
Memphis is a story about the passion and roots of rock ’n’ roll featuring an original gospel, rhythm & blues and early rock score fused with a contemporary sensibility. The musical follows the life of the first white deejay who dares to play black music at the center of the radio dial. Taking place on legendary Beale Street in the early 1950’s, this dynamic show puts audiences front and center at the birth of rock ‘n’ roll. Based on a concept by George W. George and co-produced in conjunction with The 5th Avenue Theatre (Seattle, WA).
The award-winning creative team includes Book and Lyrics by Joe DiPietro (I Love You, Your Perfect, Now Change, All Shook Up), Music and additional Lyrics by David Bryan (Bon Jovi keyboardist and founding member).
