Walnut Street Theatre will close its 2014-15 season with a production of Memphis, set to run May 12-July 12. The musical is set to star Kimber Sprawl and Christopher Sutton, who can be seen here in the newly released promotional photos.

Inspired by actual events, Memphis follows a radio DJ who wants to change the world and a club singer who is ready for her big break. Featuring an original score by Bon Jovi's David Bryan, Memphis won the 2010 Tony Award for Best Musical.

The show's music is described as evoking "the powerhouse funk of James Brown, the hot guitar riffs of Chuck Berry, the smooth harmonies of the Temptations, and the silken, bouncy pop of the great girl groups of the period."
