Memphis Heads to The Today Show

The cast of Memphis heads to The Today Show to perform "Steal Your Rock and Roll". The performance will air in the 8am hour on NBC.

With a score by Joe DiPietro and Bon Jovi’s David Bryan that mixes gospel, rhythm and blues, and early rock ‘n’ roll stylings with a contemporary sensibility, Memphis follows the fictionalized life story of Huey Calhoun, a young, white radio disc jockey growing up in Memphis in the 1950s. Fueled by the music he hears in the black bars on Beale Street, Huey’s on-air antics and unstoppable enthusiasm for “race records” creates a new white audience for African-American music. Then he falls in love with beautiful black singer Felicia Farrell, and his personal life transcends the race line, too, with grave consequences.
