Set in the turbulent 1950s, Memphis tells the story of Huey Calhoun, a white, free-spirited radio DJ from the wrong side of town, and Felicia Farrell, a talented Black singer with dreams of stardom. When Huey falls in love with Felicia’s voice—and with Felicia herself—he sets out to bring her music, the rhythm and blues sound of underground Memphis clubs, to mainstream radio.
As Huey’s fame grows, so does the tension between his bold ideas and the deeply rooted racial barriers of the era. Felicia’s career begins to take off, but the world isn’t ready for their love or for the sound they’re trying to share.
Packed with high-energy dance numbers, heart-pounding rock ‘n’ roll, and soulful ballads, Memphis is an inspiring story about passion, courage, and the power of music to bring people together—even when the world tries to keep them apart.
