About the show…
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. Winner of four 2010 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and two 2015 Olivier Awards, Memphis features a Tony-winning book by Joe DiPietro and a Tony-winning original score with music by Bon Jovi founding member David Bryan.
Broadway Flash
On February 3rd, 2011, Swiss watchmaker Audemars Piguet invited over 1,100 kids from public schools and AIDS service organizations across New York City to the Tony Award-winning Memphis. The kids surprised the cast by joining them in the show's finale, "Steal Your Rock-n-Roll," singing along and performing the choreography from their seats. This delightful event was made possible by Audemars Piguet, The Tony Awards, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, and Inspire Change (now CHANGE Arts).
