About

From the underground dance clubs of 1950s Memphis, Tennessee, comes a hot new Broadway musical that bursts off the stage with explosive dancing, irresistible songs and a thrilling tale of fame and forbidden love. Inspired by actual events, Memphis is about a radio DJ who wants to change the world and a club singer who is ready for her big break. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical,Memphis features an original score by Bon Jovi's David Bryan that evokes the powerhouse funk of James Brown, the hot guitar riffs of Chuck Berry, the smooth harmonies of the Temptations and the silken, bouncy pop of the great girl groups of the period. Turn up that dial! It's time for Broadway's roof-raising rock 'n' roll musical, Memphis!

    Give yourself at least 90 minutes if you have to pick up your tickets at the box office. I missed the first 15 minutes of the show since I only arrived 1/2hour before the show to pick mine up. That doesn't make for a very high opinion of the show

    where's the funk?

    by NJRNBFAN on 7/14/15Walnut Street Theatre - Philadelphia

    Some wonderful talent on stage here, but not at all what I expected. Where's the Memphis Horns, Steve Cropper, Duck Dunn and the rest? How about a STAX of soul cakes like the Big "O", Sam & Dave, Rufus Thomas, et. al.? This was boring off Broadway fluff...
