A new musical which follows the fictionalized life story of young, white radio disc jockey Huey Calhoon growing up in Memphis, Tennessee in the 1950s.  An unlikely hero with a great love of 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.  His personal life transcends the race line as well, when he falls in love with a beautiful black singer – with dramatic consequences.

“Memphis” had its World Premiere at the North Shore Music Theatre in Beverly, MA in Oct 2003.  Gabriel Barre directed a cast which featured Chad Kimball (Huey Calhoun) & Montego Glover.  George W George was the producer.  La Jolla Playhouse (Christopher  Ashley,  Artistic  Dir;  Steven  B  Libman,  Managing  Dir) in La Jolla, CA presented a revised version of the show in Sept 2008.  Mr Ashley directed, and the cast was again headed by Chad Kimball & Montego Glover.
