Memphis has been lauded as the perfect
musical with original songs, a touching
story, with heart and comedy and highenergy dance numbers that bring the underground R&B clubs of 1950's Memphis to life. Memphis explores the beginning of the civil rights movements
and the struggle against racial prejudice
and ambitions careers, set to songs that
are already modern classics!
