Singer Beverley Knight is set to take on a new stage role when MEMPHIS THE MUSICAL arrives on the London stage in October. Knight made her west end debut as Rachel Marron in The Bodyguard at the Adelphi Theatre and the theatre bug seems to have hit the multi award-winning recording artist hard!
Directed by Christopher Ashley and with choreography by Sergio Trujillo, the show boasts a Grammy® Award-winning original score by David Bryan, founding member of Bon Jovi, and book by Joe DiPietro with this official synopsis:
Inspired by true events from the underground dance clubs of 1950s Memphis, Tennessee, MEMPHIS follows the fame and forbidden love of a radio DJ who wants to change the world and a club singer who is ready for her big break.
Tickets for the show go on-sale today. Preview performances will be at the Shaftesbury Theatre, London from 9 October 2014 and the opening night is set for 23 October 2014. For more information, check out the MEMPHIS website.
