In preparation for her role as Felicia in the multi award-winning MEMPHIS THE MUSICAL, Beverley Knight travels to the iconic city in order to immerse herself in the music, history and culture.
Watch as Beverley visits legendary landmarks such as Sun Studio and Willie Mitchell’s Royal Studio, then records a number from the show on Al Green’s very own microphone.
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) and West End star Killian Donnelly (The Commitments, Billy Elliot the Musical, Les Misérables) 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.
