Come along on their incredible journey to the ends of the airwaves—filled with laughter, soar- ing emotion and roof-raising rock ‘n’ roll. Winner of four 2010 Tony Awards® including Best Musical, MEMPHIS, which played pre-Broadway at the La Jolla Playhouse, features a Tony®-winning book by Joe DiPietro “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change” and a Tony®-winning original score with music by Bon Jovi founding member David Bryan. Directing is Tony® nominee Christopher Ashley, Xanadu and choreography is by Sergio Trujillo, Jersey Boys.
