Set in 1950s Memphis, this Tony and Olivier Award®-winning musical tells the story of a white DJ with a passion for Black music and a talented Black singer chasing her big break. Inspired by true events, Memphis is a high-energy tale of love, ambition, and the power of music—featuring electrifying dance, a Tony®-winning score by David Bryan (Bon Jovi), and a book by Joe DiPietro.
