When Huey Calhoun walks into the underground Rock ‘n’ Roll bar Delray’s in 1950s Memphis, it’s not the music that stops him in his tracks – it’s the blank stares. As the only white person in the bar, people start to leave until he convinces them that he’s only looking to listen to the music. Little did they know at the time, Huey would become Rock ‘n’ Roll’s pioneering DJ, moving the iconic sound from radio to TV. Even though Memphis was the birthplace of Rock ‘n’ Roll in the South, there is a lot more to the story than what happened at Graceland. Winner of the 2010 Tony Award for Best Musical, MEMPHIS is a co-production with Theatrical Outfit.
