Memphis Debuts in Orange CountyThe hot new Broadway musical set in the underground dance clubs of 1950s Memphis, Tenn., bursts off the stage with explosive dancing, irresistible songs and a tale of fame and forbidden love inspired by actual events. Memphis at, Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa, is about a white radio DJ who wants to change the world, and a black club singer ready for her big break. Their journey to the ends of the airwaves earned the show four 2010 Tony Awards including best musical; it 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. Christopher Ashley (Xanadu) directs. Memphis played pre-Broadway at Southern California’s La Jolla Playhouse. 600 Town Center Dr., Costa Mesa, 714.556.2787. scfta.org
