WHAT IS MEMPHIS ABOUT?

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 and forbidden  love.

Inspired by actual events, Memphis is about a white radio DJ who wants to change the world and a black club  singer who is ready for her big break.

She has sold over a million albums in the UK and been nominated three times for Best Female at the Brit Awards and twice nominated for the Mercury Music Prize. Beverley performed at the opening ceremony of the 2012 Paralympics in London.Killian Donnelly received critical acclaim for his performance in the World Premiere of The Commitments at the Palace Theatre.Beverley Knight does not appear at all performances. She is NOT scheduled to perform on the following dates: 31 (Matinee) December 2014, 5, 21-23 January 2015, 27-28 February 2015, 3-7, 10 and 24 March 2015, 1 April 2015.

Winner of four 2010 Tony Awards including Best Musical, Memphis features a Tony-winning book by Joe DiPietro (I Love You, You're Perfect Now Change and All Shook Up) and a Tony-winning original score with music by Bon Jovi founding member David Bryan.

Bryan's score gives you the impression that you are listening to one of the greatest jukebox musicals ever written - full of pulsating, driving rock and roll, but what you are listening to is a fabulous original score.
