Join us for the electrifying production of Memphis: The Musical, opening January 17 at the Masonic Theatre in downtown New Bern. Set in the turbulent 1950s, this Tony Award-winning show tells the story of Huey Calhoun, a white DJ who falls in love with Felicia Farrell, a talented Black singer. As they break barriers in both music and society, their journey is filled with passion, heartbreak, and a soundtrack that will have you tapping your feet. Inspired by real events, Memphis celebrates the transformative power of music and the courage to stand for what’s right.
