2009.2.5. "Memphis" at 5th Ave Theatre

2009.2.5. Memphis at The 5th Ave Theatre, a co-production with La Jolla Playhouse. Written by Joe DiPietro. Music by David Bryan. Storyline loosely follows the life of Dewey Phillips, the first white D.J. who played "race" music on radio. Quite funny at times. Smooth scene changes (scenic design by David Gallo, I especially like the radio box). Effective image projections (lighting design by Howell Binkley). Energetic songs and dances. As always, too much sound amplification.
