The first National Tour of the acclaimed show just opened in - you guessed it - Memphis on October 16.  The cast recently visited Elvis Presley's home, Graceland.  Last week we brought you the photos and today we brings you a video diary of the trip!

MEMPHIS takes place in the smoky halls and underground clubs of the segregated 50s, where a young white DJ named Huey Calhoun fell in love with everything he shouldn't: rock and roll and an electrifying black singer. MEMPHIS is an original story about the cultural revolution that erupted when his vision met her voice, and the music changed forever. Come along on their incredible journey to the ends of the airwaves -- filled with laughter, soaring emotion and roof-raising rock 'n' roll.

The show features a brand new Tony® winning score with music by Bon Jovi's founding member and keyboardist David Bryan and lyrics by Bryan and Joe DiPietro (I LOVE YOU, YOU'RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE), who also pens the musical's book. Bryan and DiPietro also collaborated on the award-winning off-Broadway hit, THE TOXIC AVENGER. MEMPHIS is based on a concept by the late George W. George (producer of the Tony® nominated BEDROOM FARCE and the film MY DINNER WITH ANDRE), with direction by Tony® nominee Christopher Ashley (XANADU) and choreography by Sergio Trujillo, who is currently represented by three shows on Broadway (MEMPHIS, JERSEY BOYS and THE ADDAMS FAMILY).
