Fort Wayne Civic Theatre's Production of MEMPHIS The Musical

From the underground dance clubs of 1950s Memphis, Tennessee, comes a hot new Broadway musical that burst off the stage with explosive dancing, irresistible songs and a thrilling tale of fame and forbidden love. Inspired by actual events, Memphis is about a white radio DJ who wants to change the world, and a black club singer who is ready for her big break.

Come along on their incredible journey to the ends of the airwaves. A journey filled with laughter, soaring emotion and roof-raising rock 'n' roll. Winner of four 2010 Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical & Best Original Score.
