Last night I worked the opening night of the new musical, Memphis. The red carpet was not very spectacular, but getting to got to the after-party at the Hard Rock Cafe was pretty sweet. I escorted the cast members through the crowds to the press line for photos as they arrived at the party. After the photos were over, I got to just hang out at the party.Tori and I saw the show over the weekend and really enjoyed it. The music and choreography were really tight, though the plot was fairly bland. The story takes place in segregated Memphis during the 1950s. A white DJ named Huey Calhoun finds success playing ''race'' music and finds himself falling in (forbidden) love with a black singer named Felicia Farrow. The original music was composed by David Bryan, keyboardist and a founding member of Bon Jovi.
