Memphis

Memphis is a musical with music by David Bryan, lyrics by Bryan and Joe DiPietro, and a book by DiPietro. Loosely inspired by the story of Memphis disc jockey Dewey Phillips, it is set in the underground dance clubs of 1950s Memphis, Tennessee and follows Huey Calhoun, a white radio DJ determined to change the world, and Felicia Farrell, a black club singer hoping for her big break.
