Shout! Factory and Broadway Worldwide, Inc. have announced a new deal to bring Broadway's 2010 Tony Award-winning Best Musical
Memphis to Blu-ray in the U.S. and Canada. Under this multi-year agreement, Shout! Factory will be the exclusive home entertainment distributor to release
Memphis featuring the original Broadway cast. The Blu-ray will hit retail shelves in 2012.
Memphis takes place in the smoky halls and underground clubs of the segregated 50's, where a young white DJ named Huey Calhoun fell in love with everything he shouldn't: rock and roll and an electrifying black singer Felicia Farrell.
Memphis is an original story about the cultural revolution that erupted when his vision met her voice, and the music changed forever. Bursting off the stage with explosive dancing, irresistible songs and a thrilling tale of fame and forbidden love, this incredible journey is filled with laughter, soaring emotion and roof-raising rock 'n' roll.
Memphis boasts a Tony-winning original score with music and lyrics composed by David Bryan, keyboard player and founding member of Bon Jovi.
