Memphis the Musical starring Chad Kimball and Montego Glover has become a broadway sensation.
After the musical about the birth of rock ‘n’ roll in the 1950’s received a visit from first lady Michelle Obama, and first daughters Sasha and Malia, it got the jump it needed. Without an unfamiliar title and starring actor in addition to a mixed review opening, the show is becoming a legitimate hit at the box office.

Sue Frost, one of the lead producers of Memphis the Musical says what the show is experiencing is a “slow and steady build.” It seems as though this is the case since the show opened in the Fall of 2009, and is finally picking up speed now.

Memphis the Musical is set in Memphis Tennessee where a white DJ named Huey Calhoun has a love for the music he hears in the black bars. He falls in love with a rising black singer named Felicia Farrell. These two characters work together to help her break out of segregated clubs, and onto the radio where audiences everywhere can experience how rock ‘n’ roll become popular. However, when he falls in love with this beautiful singer, there are some consequences.

Memphis the Musical is now on Broadway at the prime location of the Shubert Theatre in New York City. The showtimes are Sundays at 3, Tuesdays at 7, Wednesdays at 2 and 8, Thursdays at 8, Fridays at 8, and Saturdays at 2 and 8.
