MEMPHIS IS GOING TO LIVE IN YOU!
“Vista’s Moonlight season opens with powerfully sung and racially potent ‘Memphis’…Jeffrey Polk, in his Moonlight debut as director-choreographer, makes all of the show’s lively music and dance scenes pop with energy.”
Pam Kragen – San Diego Union-Tribune
| The Moonlight has opened its 41st summer season with a roof-raising production that’s on stage now through May 28 at 8 pm! |

| Janaya Mahealani Jones as Felicia in MEMPHIS “Its stage was on fire with the jaw-dropping vocals of the musical’s leading lady Janaya Mahealani Jones. The powerhouse R&B singer steals the show in the Tony-winning musical that opens Moonlight Stage Productions’ 2022 summer outdoor season. Jones has a big, soulful voice, charisma and a warm stage presence as Felicia, the talented 1950s nightclub singer whose dream of a radio and recording career is out of reach because of her skin color.”San Diego Union-Tribune |
Bryan Banville (center) as Huey in MEMPHIS
“Bryan Banville, who stars as the illiterate hillbilly DJ Huey, makes his oddball character endearing and frequently hilarious. He has the same weird whiny, sing-song vocal delivery as Chad Kimball, who originated the role at La Jolla Playhouse, but Banville brings a fresh rubber-bodied and slouchy energy to the part, and Huey’s songs sit in the sweet spot of Banville’s voice.”
