I went to see the play 3 times when it was here in October of 2011. I had never gone back to see any play but I could not seem to get enough of this one. I was there April 23rd for opening night and then I went back Saturday and Sunday this past weekend. I actually cried the last night because I know the tour is ending in 3 weeks and that would be my last time to see it.
I love having a play about our great city of Memphis and the singers and the dancers were the best I've ever seen. Bryan Fenkart made Huey Calhoun come alive and become a character I'll always remember. Felicia Boswell had a voice that was so strong it almost shook the building. I would always go to the Stage Door and as the cast came out - they were friendly and signed things and posed for pictures. That made it even more special.
So MEMPHIS has left Memphis but it will never leave my heart. So Hockadoo !! :)

Favorite moment: When Bryan Fenkart - as Huey Calhoun - sings "Memphis Lives In Me". @
