If you missed the award-winning musical smash Memphis when it recently came to Charlotte, don't sweat it. You now have the opportunity to catch the Broadway production in the comfort of your own home.

On the heels of the Ovens Auditorium touring show that ran Jan. 3-8, there's now Shout! Factory's release of the original Broadway production that won four Tony Awards: Best Musical, Book of a Musical, Score and Orchestrations. Filmed live at the Shubert Theatre, this tale of the forbidden love between a white DJ and a black singer in the 1950s is now available for home audiences on both Blu-ray and DVD.
