Description
Winner of four 2010 Tony Awards including Best Musical, the Broadway show Memphis is back in the Bay Area, presented by Broadway San Jose.
Memphis follows the story of a radio DJ, who wishes to change the world and a club singer, who is looking for a chance at stardom. Taking place in the 1950s in Memphis, Tennessee, this musical mixes rock n' roll with dancing and a story of forbidden love. Loosely based off of Memphis disc jockey Dewey Phillips, who was one of the first white DJs to play black music on air.
