Memphis – The Musical
Sunday, February 24, $67 pp
Depart SCPL 2 p.m.; Return 11 p.m
Broadway Across America presents
Memphis
at the beautiful Majestic Theatre in
San Antonio. Built in 1929, the theatre was
listed on the National Register of Historical
Places in 1975 and designated a National His-
toric Landmark in 1993.
Memphis
wonBestMusical Tony Award
in 2010. It is set in the places where rock and roll was born in
the 1950s: the seedy nightclubs, radio stations and recording
studios of the musically-rich Tennessee city. With an original
score, it tells the fictional story of DJ Huey Calhoun, a good ole’
local boy with a passion for R&B music and Felicia Farrell, an
up-and-coming black singer that he meets one fateful night on
Beale Street. Despite the objections of their loved ones (Huey’s
close-mindedmama and Felicia’s cautious brother, a club owner),
they embark on a dangerous affair. As their careers rise, the re-
lationship is challenged by personal ambition and the pressures
of an outside world unable to accept their love.
Upon arrival in San Antonio, youwill have two hours of ‘on your
own’ time to have dinner and/or walk around the San Antonio
River Walk before meeting at the theatre for a 6:30 p.m. show
time. Ticket cost includes transportation and show ticket.
