Memphis' original Broadway cast members Tony nominee Chad Kimball (Come From Away), Cass Morgan (The Bridges of Madison County), and J. Bernard Calloway (All The Way) came together for 54 SINGS MEMPHIS, a one night only concert at Feinstein's/54 Below last night, February 4th.
Memphis, which won the 2010 Tony Award for Best Musical, has music by David Bryan (BonJovi), lyrics by Bryan and Joe DiPietro (I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change), and a book by Mr. DiPietro. The show was directed by Christopher Ashley and choreographed by Sergio Trujillo.
54 SINGS MEMPHIS was hosted by Memphis' original lead producers, Randy Adams and Sue Frost (Come From Away). The concert was directed by Robert W. Schneider (regional premiere of Memphis) and music directed by Joshua Zecher-Ross (George Street's I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change).
Inspired by actual events, Memphis is about a white radio DJ who wants to change the world and an African-American singer who is ready for her big break. As they vow to change the world one song at a time, they find that their love for music is not the only love they share.
