Beverley Knight and Killian Donnelly star as singer Felicia Farrell and radio DJ Huey Calhoun in the original London cast of the hit Broadway musical Memphis. Set in 1950's Memphis, the show tells the story of the first incredible sounds of rock ‘n’ roll, blues and gospel, as they emerge 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. The show tells the tale of the couple's love story over a number of years throughout that musical revolution.

Memphis the Musical is currently playing at the Shaftesbury Theatre
