A play based in the turbulent times of 1950's, Memphis is a musical about the birth of rock 'n' roll. It played to a sold out audience in Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre and is not only critically acclaimed but also boasts of some extremely popular musical numbers.

The new musical is directed by Christopher Ashley (nominated for Tony Awards for Xanadu) and the choreography is by Sergio Trujilo (of Jersey Boys fame)

The combination of dynamic music, excellent staging and touching story has conquered the heart of Seattle and has now come to win over Broadway during the fall of 2009.

Memphis is the story of the protagonist, Huey Calhoon, a young white radio disc jockey who lives in Memphis, Tennessee during the 1950's. His great love for music, special passion for "race records" and on air charms creates a whole new set of white audience that grooves to African American music. All this turns him into an unlikely hero. This is interwoven with his love interest with a beautiful black singer, with dramatic consequences for all concerned.

The main attraction of the show is gospel, early rock n roll, rhythm ...
... and blues and music and lyrics by David Bryan (founding member of Bon Joyi) and lyrics by Joe DiPietro.

Memphis received a Craig Noel Award (San Diego) for Excellence in Theatre for Outstanding New Musical of 2008 as well as the award for its star Chad Kimball, who plays Huey Calhoon.

The show has performed successfully at sold out engagements in La Jolla Playhouse as well as other theatres. On Broadway, the show is produced by Junkyard Dog Productions and Barbara and Buddy Freitag, in association with Marleen and Kenny Alhadeff, Demos Bizar Entertainment and Dancap Productions.

David Bryan, whose career boasts of important milestones such as selling 100 million music albums, circling the globe 15 times, playing to millions of people in more than 50 countries, 20 successful years in music, and lending a voice to several social causes, has lent the music as well as lyrics to Memphis.
