    ONE OF THE BEST!!!

    by Oakchick on 10/18/11The Orpheum Theatre Memphis - Memphis

    This was one of the best musicals that I have seen. The story behind the musical dealt with some very sensitive topics but the topics were played out well and delivered truthfully. My favorite character was Huey. Felicia had an amazing voice. Bobby wasn't too bad either. Everyone performed well. If I could afford it, I would go see it again before it leaves Memphis. A+++++++ rating!!

    An Adult 'Hairspray' for audiences

    by aabeene on 10/18/11The Orpheum Theatre Memphis - Memphis

    'Memphis the Musical' may not earn any points for originality. The story of racism dividing couples from being together has been done time and time again, with perhaps the most memorable being 'Hairspray.' What 'Memphis' does bring the table is an electrifying combination of tunes and performances and a story that makes for a powerful telling of the rise of interracial relations in the South. The songs are catchy, the performances are spectaculer and comedic and there are even a few moments that will be bring a tear to your eye. This 2010 Tony Winner is highly recommended.

    Memphis was "Fantabulous"

    by SIZZLE48 on 10/18/11The Orpheum Theatre Memphis - Memphis

    I found this musical to be warm, family friendly, uplifting and professionally done. It was so tastefully presented and possesed plenty of eye candy. The dancer wer spot on and the singers were superb. Storyline was well handled and concise yet complete. The Settings were unique and appropriate for the action. The costumes were well chosen and period appropriate. I enjoyed everything about this production. I intend to see it agin before it leaves. Memphis deserved this one, "Right ON". This one is poised for success.

    Great Cast!!

    by Jreg0007 on 10/18/11The Orpheum Theatre Memphis - Memphis

    The story followed history and from what history I have read, Dewey Phillips was portrayed as Huey Calhoun and they did a great job. The timeline was short and focused on the early to mid 1950's. The cast all sang incredibly well and it was a pleasure to listen to. Even though I did not recognize and of the songs they were all good.

    Memphis the Musical was exciting

    by Replaceseats on 10/18/11The Orpheum Theatre Memphis - Memphis

    This play was more than I expected. The talent was fabulous, the story enjoyable and the singing and dancing were electric. One of the best shows I have seen at the Orpheum in a long time. The audience was really into the music. Too bad the seats are miserably uncomfortable.

    The music and show was unbelievable. Could have done with less profanity. Definitely would not bring my children to this show. But overall, the quality of the production was top-notch.
