Turn up that dial! 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, forbidden love, and a fight to change the world. Inspired by actual events, Memphis is about a white radio DJ driving to break the music world free of its racial prejudices, and a black club singer who is ready for her big break.

Loved by audiences and critics alike, Memphis is the winner of four Tony Awards including Best Musical, and features a Tony-winning book by Joe DiPietro (I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change) and a Tony-winning original score with music by Bon Jovi founding member David Bryan.

The New York Times calls Memphis “a sincere new musical with plenty of energetic choreography and a talented, appealing, hard-charging cast that holds the attention. It 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.”

Come along on the incredible journey of these two inspirational rebels as they fight for life, love, and music, from the depths of dingy nightclubs to the ends of the airwaves. Filled with high-octane dancing, songs that perfectly capture the 1950s era, and an absorbing tale of fame and forbidden love, this show will have you from the first note to the final curtain—capturing your hearts with soaring emotion and roof-raising rock ‘n’ roll.
