Sunday August 5

After nearly three years, 1,166 performances and four Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Memphis will close on Broadway. It currently stars Adam Pascal and original cast member Montego Glover as a white radio DJ and a black soul singer who come together over their shared passion for music and, in turn, fall in love amid the racial tension brewing in the segregated south of the 1950s. Featuring the rock- and blues-infused score of Bon Jovi’s David Bryan (composer) and Joe DiPietro (the lyricist who also wrote the book) and direction by Christopher Ashley. (Shubert Theatre, 225 W. 44th St., btwn. Broadway & 8th Ave., info/tickets.)
