Broadway's Four-Time Tony Award Winning Musical 'Memphis' coming to the big screen for an exclusive engagement!

We don't normally talk Broadway here, mostly because we can't be bothered to attend anything that doesn't let us show up in flip-flops and superhero pajamas. It would take an event unlike any other, and fortunately DC residents are about to be treated to just such an occasion.  'Memphis', Broadway's four-time Tony Award winning musical is making it's way to local movie theaters for an exclusive four night engagement! While the show continues to pack crowds on Broadway, attendees of these events will be treated to a unique bonus: a special behind-the-scenes look at the play recently named 2010's Best Musical!

MEMPHIS takes place in the smoky halls and underground clubs of the segregated 50’s, where a young white DJ named Huey Calhoun (Chad Kimball) fell in love with everything he shouldn’t:  rock and roll and an electrifying black singer (Montego Glover). MEMPHIS is an original story about the cultural revolution that erupted when his vision met her voice, and the music changed forever. Bursting off the stage with explosive dancing, irresistible songs and a thrilling tale of fame and forbidden love, this incredible journey is filled with laughter, soaring emotion and roof-raising rock 'n' roll. 

MEMPHIS features a Tony^®-winning book by Joe DiPietro (I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change) and a Tony^®-winning original score with music and lyrics composed by David Bryan, Grammy Award® winning keyboard player and founding member of Bon Jovi.  Directed by Tony^® nominee Christopher Ashley (Xanadu) with choreography by Sergio Trujillo (Jersey Boys), the all-star cast features Tony^® nominee Chad Kimball, Tony^® nominee Montego Glover, Derrick Baskin, J. Bernard Calloway, James Monroe Iglehart, Tony^® nominee Michael McGrath and Cass Morgan.

The four-night run begins on April 28th and continues through May 3rd. There'll be a special matinee event on May 1st. For tickets and updated showtimes, check out www.FathomEvents.com.  Please see below for a full list of local venues participating in this unprecedented milestone!
