The Bodyguard’s Beverley Knight to star in Memphis

The Bodyguard star Beverley Knight’s next stage role after she vacates the Adelphi Theatre on 31st May 2014, will be a lead role in the Tony Award-winning musical MEMPHIS,  which will open at the Shaftesbury Theatre in October 2014.

From the underground dance clubs of 1950s Memphis, Tennessee, MEMPHIS is inspired by actual events about a radio DJ who wants to change the world and a club singer who is ready for her big break.

Winner of four 2010 Tony Awards including Best Musical, MEMPHIS features a Tony-winning book by Joe DiPietro (I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change) and a Tony-winning original score with music by Bon Jovi’s founding member David Bryan. MEMPHIS also won four 2010 Drama Desk Awards (including Best Musical) and four 2010 Outer Critics Circle Awards (including Outstanding Musical).

Singer, songwriter, record producer and stage star, Beverley Knight took over the role of Rachel Marron from Heather Headley in The Bodyguard in September 2013.
