Loved the music. Keeps you moving and toe swinging in your seat. Downside: had someone with mobility issues and we were in the balcony- missed the elevator (if there was one) More

This is a high energy show that had the entire audience on its feet by the last number. Kudos to the entire cast, especially Montego Glover. The story and numbers complemented each other. Sets and costumes were also great. The dancing was exceptional. More

What is not to like? Brilliant music, dancing, acting, an actual (relevant) story-line and a social message. You couldn't ask for more-I was practically dancing myself. You must see this! More

Lot's of new songs that you won't recognize but not up to par with the top shows on Broadway.. Still very good, but doesn't compare to Jersey Boys. More

I was totally unprepared for what a terrific musical Memphis was. I saw it twice. Music is fabulous as it the choreography and the story of race relations in Memphis in the late 1950's and early 60's is a reminder to us all of how deep seated our prejudices are. A great night out. You will want to dance out... More
