A friend at work told me about this new show, Memphis. New in show terms is all relative. It was on Broadway from October 19, 2009 to August 5, 2012 and has recently made the move to the West End.
Memphis is a musical by David Bryan and Joe DiPietro. It is loosely based on Memphis disc jockey Dewey Phillips, one of the first white DJs to play black music in the 1950s. And the music is wonderful. If you love the original sound of Rock and Roll, this is the show for you.
