Memphis Soundtrack: Available Dec 11

The Original Broadway Cast Recording of the celebrated new musical MEMPHIS will be available for purchase exclusively at the Shubert Theatre (225 West 44th Street) and online at www.memphisthemusical.com beginning Friday, December 11th. This special edition will feature a bonus track of “Memphis Lives in Me” performed by composer and Bon Jovi founding member David Bryan. The cast of MEMPHIS recorded the album at Avatar Studios on Monday, November 16, 2009. The recording is produced by Delray Records and nationwide distribution details will be available shortly.

“I've made a lot of albums but this one is really special to me,” composer David Bryan said. “MEMPHIS is about the birth of rock n roll, and to go into a studio with our amazing cast and kick-ass band is something I've been looking forward to for a long time.”

MEMPHIS began previews on Wednesday, September 23rd at the Shubert Theatre following critically-acclaimed and sold-out engagements at La Jolla Playhouse and Seattle’s 5th Avenue Theatre. The production opened to critical acclaim on Monday, October 19, 2009.


Do you suppose this is a new recording of the song, or the same one that's on the box set? Either way, and even if that wasn't a perk of this soundtrack, it's still on my must-have list.

Oh, Santa.....
