Anyone who says "Huey Sent Me" at the Shubert Theatre box office will receive a discounted ticket for $26.50 for the Feb. 26 evening performance. The rock musical stars Chad Kimball (Into the Woods, Lennon, The Civil War, My Life with Albertine) as DJ Huey Calhoun with Montego Glover (The Color Purple, Ragtime, Aida) as his muse, Felicia Farrell.

"In the smoky halls and underground clubs of the segregated '50s," press notes state, "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."
