‘Memphis’ Is Here!
Today’s the day theatergoers in New York City have been waiting on for months, as the Joe DiPietro/David Bryan-fronted rock musical Memphis begins previews tonight at Broadway’s Shubert Theatre. The Christopher Ashley-directed Memphis is sure to stir up media attention tonight as the production begins its romp on Broadway, and this is sure to be one magnificent must-see musical, as it features Chad Kimball (DJ Huey Calhoun), Montego Glover (Felicia Farrell), J. Bernard Calloway (Delray), James Monroe Iglehart (Bobby), Cass Morgan (Gladys Calhoun), Derrick Baskin (Gator) and Michael McGrath (Mr. Simmons). Kimball and Glover created their roles for Memphis at the La Jolla Playhouse last August, continuing the run at Seattle’s 5th Avenue Theatre this winter before heading for Broadway.
The blazing and energetic musical Memphis will officially open at the Shubert Theatre on Oct. 19, and in the meantime viewers can catch the action of ’50s rock ‘n’ roll onstage by seeing a performance of Memphis as the production begins previews on Broadway tonight.
