Chad Kimball and Montego Glover lead the cast of Broadway's new David Bryan-Joe DiPietro rock musical Memphis, playing at the Shubert Theatre.
Christopher Ashley directs and Sergio Trujillo choreographs the musical featuring a score and lyrics by David Bryan with book and lyrics by Joe DiPietro.
"In the smoky halls and underground clubs of the segregated '50s," as show notes explain, "a young white DJ named Huey Calhoun fell in love with everything he shouldn't: rock and roll and an electrifying black singer."
Memphis also features J. Bernard Calloway, James Monroe Iglehart, Cass Morgan, Derrick Baskin and Michael McGrath. The ensemble includes Jennifer Allen, Brad Bass, Tracee Beazer, Kevin Covert, Hillary Elk, Bryan Fenkart, Dionne Figgins, Rhett George, John Jellison, Candice McCall, Sydney Morton, Vivian Nixon, John Eric Parker, Jermaine R. Rembert, LaQuet Sharnell, Ephraim Sykes, Cary Tedder, Danny Tidwell, Daniel J. Watts, Katie Webber, Charlie Williams and Dan'yelle Williamson.
