There's racial tension when Huey Calhoun wanders into a black club in the segregated 1950s. And there's plenty of sexual tension when the white DJ falls head over heels with the rock 'n' roll club's black singer. Watch it all unfold in the Tony-winning "Memphis" with a score by Bon Jovi founding member David Bryan and Joe DiPietro. - June Wulff, Globe Staff

Performances drive ‘Memphis’ at reopened Colonial Theatre

(no rating) Dec. 14, 2012 - Boston.com - Terry Byrne, Globe Correspondent

The musical “Memphis” promises a provocative tale of a man who uses music to break through the color barrier in the Jim Crow South, but what it delivers is a superficial collection of cliches.
