memphis


This past weekend in NY, I was fortunate enough to see the Broadway musical, MEMPHIS.  I can't even begin to describe the show's beauty.  A radio DJ wants to take the underground sounds of Beale Street to the masses while a singer just wants her big break.  But 1950s Memphis doesn't take too kindly to the duo with racial tensions at an all time high.  By intermission, there wasn't a dry eye in the house.  The emotion of the show filled the Shubert Theater and the energy was nonstop.  The music and costumes just added to the art.  If you are in NY and have a chance, GO.  You won't be disappointed.
