The music in this show is awesome. If you like 50's R&B/Rock then this is for you.

Very fun energetic show that we thoroughly enjoyed. The music and dancing were both excellent and we were smiling for the whole show!

Booked to see Memphis without knowing what to expect. Need not have worried, it was really a great show it ever opens in London's West End we will be sure to see it again.

I really like this musical alot! Mainly because of the songs and the message it is trying to convey. Also, if you are a student and you do not mind lining up early (9:30am) in the morning, go to the box office and get a student priced ticket for $30. :) Trust me, this will probably be one of the...

Loved the energy, the music, the story. We saw four plays (including Book of Mormon) and like this one the best.

We saw this when it was in previews prior to it winning. The original cast was in it. The scene changes were seamless and the show itself very upbeat. We thought it better than Billy Elliot at the time. Both were excellent shows however.

We both enjoyed the non-stop talent showcased in this story. The vocals were exceptional, music memorable, and dancing energetic and remarkable. My husband rarely enjoys plays/musicals, but he was completely engaged in the performance and couldn't stop talking about how much he enjoyed it. So happy we selected "Memphis" for our trip to NYC!
