Photo Coverage: Opening Night of MEMPHIS in Toronto

Photo-Coverage-Opening-Night-of-Memphis-in-Toronto-20000101

Memphis shaked, rattled and rolled its way into The Toronto Centre for the Arts Wednesday night, and boasted a star studded opening night audience to celebrate! Hometown hero Sergio Trujillo was on hand, as well as many of the show's NYC producers, Toronto DJs from various radio stations and the Tony Award (from when the show won Best Musical in 2010).

The touring production stars original Broadway cast members Bryan Fenkart and Felicia Boswell as the inter-racial lovers who bond over their love of the rock and roll music playing in the then underground club scene in Memphis, Tennessee. Both shine in their respective roles, bringing heart, warmth, passion and incredible vocals to their characters. The supporting cast is uniformly strong and the whole production comes together in a tight, clean and energetic burst of joy that the audience clearly loved.

BWW is thrilled to bring its readers these exclusive photos of the opening night show, as well as Dancap President Aubrey Dan and Sergio Trujillo with The Tony Award at the opening night party.

NEWSIES, PETER AND THE STARCATCHER, GODSPELL & WICKED Are in the Lead...

Kelly Cameron's love affair with the theatre began when she was just five years old, on an outing to see the Original Canadian Cast of Les Miserables at the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto. She instantly fell in love, and since then has been lucky enough to be involved in various theatre activities and productions, including a regional production of A Midsummer Night's Dream and a local production of Where the Sidewalk Ends. She has also received training from various teachers throughout Southwestern Ontario in both piano and voice, and competed in vocal competitions for which she received a few awards. Her writing career started almost by accident, when she had the opportunity to become a ghostwriter for up and coming businesses. She continues to do this, writing the content for all sorts of companies who are starting websites and looking to find their voice.

Her passion and love for theatre led to her becoming involved with BroadwayWorld where she is thrilled to be writing for the Toronto contingent of the rapidly growing website. When she isn't at the theatre, you can generally find her firmly planted in front of her trusty Blackberry - tweeting, Facebooking or partaking in other such social media activities to ensure that those who want to know are kept apprised of everything that Toronto theatre has to offer. Other interests include movies, art, music, shopping, fashion and martial arts with the occasional foray into the world of finance.
