We have season tickets to Fisher but this is the best one we have seen this year.
I enjoyed the show! Huey Calhoun was awesome! His love for acting was apparent in all the scenes he was in...he made me believe his love for music and his love for his women (in the show). I would see it again!!!
Definitely enjoyed the show. Good singing and dancing. Good story. Fun and energetic.
The music was very good, the voices, band and dancers were all amazing!! I really enjoyed the storyline, but the lead character of Huey was a little hard to warm up to, as he was such a buffoon.
Enjoyed the singing. Nice to see Broadway in Rockford.
This show kept you entranced. The dancing, the music. The lead female actor. What a gorgeous voice. Loved the seriousness along with the comedy. Made the point of the hardships that were faced and yet added enough light comedy to push it along. Huey was wonderful, funny, sad. Just an awesome show all the way around. Don't miss this show.
Memphis the musical was outstanding. The music and singing was wonderful. A must see!
The sound was too loud and distorted. Loud is ok if the sound is clear, not distorted. The Sound person should check with the audience to find out if they can understand the words. There is more to a musical than motion and LOUD NOISE! Thanks
Great singing !!! Wonderful show , great talent!!!
Memphis is a must see, especially for the children. I can't want for the show to return to take my grandkids. There a message for all. Business, Family, Love, History, Music, Racism and relationships. It was just amazing.
Great Energy. Unfamiliar with the music before I saw the show, but enjoyed it.
Memphis was a great play! set in the 60's, about a white dj who promotes and falls in love with a beautiful black singer, great music and dancing, fast paced and deep. It was one of the best plays I have seen and I have seen many!!!
Show was great. Talent was outstanding! would see again!
Beginning to end, this show did not disappoint. Excellent music, voices, dancing.....even the sound system was working just fine. All very talented artists & musicians & the costuming was excellent. A very enjoyable evening
Wonderful lively show, we especially enjoyed the music. Very talented directors and performers.
There was an amazing energy to this performance that makes everyone want to jump up and dance along with the performers. If you have any appreciation for music at all then this is the show to see!!
As good as Broadway. I'll come for the next show for sure.
Cabrillo Music Theatre does it again with style. A poignant, heartfelt, rocking look at life and music in the South in the 1950s. The program said only 3 of the actos were actors equity--don't believe it. The entire cast was strong, light on their feet, and musically talented. Great book about racial divides and prejudices in Memphis in the 1950s. If you only see one show the remainder of this year let this one be the one. Standing ovations are the norm in Southern California; this one was more than well deserved. Professional set, incredible choreography, well sung songs--you can't ask for anything more.
Memphis was fantastical! Loved the characters that were created for the musical. The main character Huey is based on Dewey Phillips, the first white DJ to ever play "black" music on a major radio station. (All the others were created.) The acting, singing, and dancing were excellent. The actor portraying Huey was very good, and the actress playing Felicia, even though very young and just out of college was like a veteran. Delray's actor and Huey's mom were so professional and they all could be on a national stage. The props were very very good and it felt really exciting to see and hear this excellent musical.
From beginning to end, high energy, catchy music, terrific singing and dancing, a very cohesive cast working together to produce a spectacular musical! The story draws you in, the songs have you tapping, the dancing is mesmerizing, and you remain on the edge of your seat throughout the show. Everyone is enthusiastic and energetic.
