Why this story today? "Memphis remains deeply relevant in 2025 as it addresses timeless themes of racial equality, cultural change, and the power of music to unite. In an era where racial tensions and struggles for social justice continue to shape our society, the show serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing fight for equality. The story of a white DJ and an African American singer, overcoming societal barriers to share music that transcends race, speaks to the transformative power of art in breaking down prejudices. With its vibrant score and messages of defiance and hope, Memphis challenges audiences to reflect on how far we've come—and how far we still have to go." — Taijee, Memphis director
