Post Gazette: Get ready to shout "Hockadoo!" cool cats and kittens. The national tour of Tony-winning best musical "Memphis" drops into Heinz Hall this week, spreading the word of rock 'n' roll and racial harmony according to Huey Calhoun.
"Hockadoo" is the oddball slogan of deejay Huey, a character loosely based on the real-life Dewey Phillips. Huey is colorblind when it comes to music and love, which serves him well when it comes to both but wreaks havoc when circa-1950s Memphis gets a gander of his uncompromising act.
