Direct from its smash hit Broadway run and a triumphant 55-city North American tour, the multi award-winning musical Memphis is set to be London’s hottest new destination!
In the underground nightclubs of 1950s Memphis, Tennessee, the soul of a new era is dawning as the first incredible sounds of rock ‘n’ roll, blues and gospel are emerging into the mainstream.
Falling in love with a beautiful club singer, one young man’s vision to bring her voice and her music out of the clubs and onto the airwaves of America will fly in the face of cultural divides and spark a music revolution that will shake the world.
Starring the Queen of British Soul, multi-award-winning recording artist Beverley Knight (The Bodyguard), with original songs by GRAMMY® winner and Bon Jovi co-founder David Bryan, and a gripping true-life inspired story from writer Joe DiPietro, Memphis will leave you exhilarated by its explosive blend of electrifying music, soaring emotion and roof-raising energy.
Winner of ‘Best New Musical’ at the 2015 WhatsOnStage Awards, four Tony Awards in 2010 including ‘Best Musical’ and now with 9 nominations at the Olivier Awards 2015, making it the most nominated show this year, Memphis has exploded into the West End and is now London’s hottest new destination! “Full of infectious funk and pop tunes that will have you dancing in your seat” (The Mirror), Memphis will leave you feeling exhilarated by its electrifying original music, soaring emotion and roof-raising energy!

★★★★★ Review: Memphis The Musical
I have to say I've spent many happy hours in the Shaftebury Theatre. It is so perfectly formed with its delightful foyer and for me it always invokes a joy to be there, in the knowledge I will witness something special.
I'd wanted to see Memphis The Musical for some time and when the kind people at LondonTheatreDirect offered me the chance to realise my trip I was ecstatic!
