MEMPHIS
MEMPHIS
From the underground dance clubs of 1950s Memphis, Tennessee, Memphis is the Tony award-winning 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.
