Nominated for several Tony Awards including the nominations for Best Musical, Best Original Score and Best Direction of a Musical; Memphis the Musical tells the story of a white DJ who is highly inspired by the black music back in 50s and starts playing it in the local clubs in Memphis. The plot of the musical is majorly inspired by the life of Dewey Phillips, who was the first White Disk Jockey ever who played black music in the clubs. In the musical, Huey Calhoun is the DJ whose affection for the music makes him cross the racial borders that were created by the society. The other main character in the musical is of Felicia Farrell who happens to be a black soul singer, who sings in the local clubs and pubs in Memphis. When the two meet up with each other, they collaborate to form the kind of music that will soon capture the hearts of music lovers all over the place, through the medium of radio air play.
Memphis the Musical perfectly combines the elements of drama and emotions with the monumental events which took place in the history of Rock & Roll. The musical comes from the pen of the writer who gave Now Change, I Love You and You're Perfect, Joe DiPietro. The music for this play is given by David Bryan, who is also the founding member of a hit rock group, Bon Jovi. Christopher Ashley is directed the musical, and also received an award nomination for a Tony Award; and choreography is superbly handled by Sergio Trujillo.
Ever since its premier, musical has been acclaimed by critics and audiences alike. New York Post used the following words when reviewing the musical: "It's immensely gratifying. David Bryan's score works perfectly. Sergio Trujillo and Christopher Ashley wrap it all together with smart, brisk efficiency. Montego Glover is terrific. She lifts up the show and stops it dead in its tracks. Of Such Thrills, Broadway is made. John Simon of Bloomberg said "It guarantees you a rambunctious good time highlighted by rousing music and singing, spectacular dancing and a witty, moving story. MEMPHIS arrives on Broadway Triumphant! The musical numbers are irresistible. Sergio Trujillo has some phenomenal dancers, and he has come up with original and incandescent dancing that no current musical and very few past ones could match." After being staged at the North Shore Music Theatre in Massachusetts and Theatreworks in California in 2003; the musical found its way to La Jolla Playhouse in San Diego, where it was staged from August 19, 2008 to September 28. From there, it was transferred to 5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle. The musical finally made its way to Broadway on September 23, 2009, when it was previewed at the Shubert Theatre, and later it was opened officially on October 19. The Broadway production was directed by Christopher Ashley while Sergio Trujillo took charge as the choreographer. The original Broadway cast members included Chad Kimball as Huey Calhoun, Montego Glover as Felicia Farrell, Derrick Baskin as Gator and J. Bernard Calloway as Delray.
Following the success of the original Broadway production, a US tour of the musical has also been announced this year, which would kick off in October 2011 at the Orpheum Theatre. On its tour, the musical will hit several venues all across the country. So in case you've been missing out on this theatrical marvel for some reason, then here's a chance for you to catch it in your city.
