Memphis in Branford

Posted by on April 28, 2011

The musical Memphis is set in Tennessee, obviously, but it gets around. Last year’s Best Musical Tony winner already has a Connecticut connection—co-producer Sue Frost, who used to work at Goodspeed Musicals, and director Christopher Ashley, a 1968 Yale grad. This weekend the show will fan out far beyond Broadway through that newfangled medium of film. A New York performance has been filmed, a behind-the-scenes documentary tagged on, and the results are being screened April 28 through May 3 at cinemas nationwide. Locally, that includes the Branford 12 and the AMC Danbury 16 cinemas, and (on May 3 only) the the Buckland Hills 18 IMAX in Manchester; a full list is here.
