MEMPHIS National Tour to Play State Theatre, 2/9

From the underground dance clubs of 1950s Memphis, Tennessee, comes a hot new Broadway musical that bursts off the stage with explosive dancing, irresistible songs and a thrilling tale of fame and forbidden love. Inspired by actual events, MEMPHIS takes the State Theatre stage on Sunday, February 9th.

MEMPHIS is about a radio DJ who wants to change the world and a club singer who is ready for her big break. What ensues is their incredible journey to the ends of the airwaves - filled with laughter, soaring emotion and roof-raising rock 'n' roll.

Winner of four 2010 Tony Awards including Best Musical, MEMPHIS features a Tony Award-winning book by Joe DiPietro (I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change) and a Tony Award-winning original score with music by David Bryan, the Grammy Award- winning, keyboard player and founding member of Bon Jovi.
