Chad Kimball - "Memphis Lives In Me" Live

[lindelcan]

I so wish Chad would come back to "Memphis"! No one comes close to singing this as well as he sings it!

[katiejsynclaire]

i remember him :) <3

[linxMuppet]

Saw Adam Pascal last week...saw chad when it opened...both awesome in different ways.....

[AllieeNB]

he's just perfection.

[lindelcan]

Don't forget "handsome"!!!

[cutie3piexoxo]

he's so amazingly talented :)

[lindelcan]

Was waiting to find some feedback on the new Huey. Does Adam play Huey similar to Chad or is he a totally new Huey?

[Xavierss13]

@lindelcan he's supposedly changed the charecter (well approached it diffrently) i don't know for sure i haven't seen him yet, but from his interviews when he's said it and from people who've seen him says he's change it up a bit (which might not be a bad thing) but i heard him (adam) sing this song and i think chad will always be huey, the one and only forever. But then again i heard a few people who really like adam's new take on the charecter you'll just have to wait and see....

[lindelcan]

@Xavierss13 Thanks for your reply. I agree...Chad will always be the one and only. I did catch his u/s, Kevin Massey, last month and he was great...similar to Chad. Went back to see Chad a couple of days later to see his 3rd last performance. I still can't believe he left the show!! If you do get to see Adam's Huey, let me know what you think. Don't think I'll be back in nyc for at least another year...question is...will Adam still be there?

[Xavierss13]

@lindelcan well that's for us all to find out... who knows maybe if he sucks we'll get a better guy lqtm but yeah it's all about what happens in his performances. Maybe chad'll come back.... probably not though till they do they're "bring everyone from the original cast it's the last broadway run" but hopefully that won't be for a long, long, long, long, long, long(10 minutes later)long, long, long(5 hours later)long ,long time. Maybe the show'll be on broadway as long as phantom of the opera.

[lindelcan]

@Xavierss13 Sure hope so!! Saw "Fiddler on the Roof" yesterday. Didn't quite do the same thing for me as "Memphis" does. Don't think anything ever will!!

[AllieeNB]

Chad is THE Huey... & he's really just an all around amazing person too :)

[dolcecandy87fan]

No offence Adam but Chad is always going to be Huey.

[MsAnelie]

it will never be the same without him....

[dragonlp86]

I listened to Adam Pascal sing this song in a Memphis preview...then I had to come back to this video and listen to Chad. He's Huey, to me. Always will be.

[Sonfaro]

@dragonlp86 I don't know... I was there too. I think Adam will be just fine.

[feeebieee]

@dragonlp86 I agree. I heard Adam, and I had to quickly come here after. Chad will always be Huey to me!

[ale96000]

3:15-3:30 = me crying my eyes out. Chad is so.freaking amazingly talented!!! Love him.

[BerryinHI]

All I can say is "WOW!" Such power and passion in his voice, yet can be so gentle. I was planning on seeing him in the first of November, so I'm very sad that I'll miss his last performance on Oct 23rd.

[vivalavieboheme14]

aaaaamaaaaaziiiiing!!!!!! just saw this show for the first time a couple weeks ago and cried so hard!! haha amazing show!!!

[GodMadeMe93]

@vivalavieboheme14 Were Chad and Montego there?

[vivalavieboheme14]

@GodMadeMe93 noooo i had their phenomenal understudies! a little disappointing at first but they blew me away!

[GodMadeMe93]

@vivalavieboheme14 The leads are always fantastical ;) but I want to see those two SO BADLY!

[Allissy47]

@GodMadeMe93 I know! i got to see montego but i got chads understudy, he was really good but im so sad ill never get to see chad since hes leaving so soon

[GodMadeMe93]

@Allissy47 Ohmygosh, YES. I am telling my mom, dad, and boyfriend that he is leaving so I can go see him. My birthday is Wednesday so hopefully that will persuade them, lol. Augh, if I don't see him I will be SO sad. :(

[Allissy47]

@GodMadeMe93 lucky!! well i definitely cant go cause i live 5 hours away from nyc, plus we were just there and just saw it, but without chad :( hopefully someone will record it or something haha im just hoping he comes back to broadway eventually and then ill just go see him then

[GodMadeMe93]

@Allissy47 Well there's no guarantee but I really want to go, lol. But I know right? Haha, maybe someone will do a good recording of his last performance.

Omg! It sounds so sad saying that. :( Aww Chad! </3

[vivalavieboheme14]

@GodMadeMe93 they're perfect together!! :)

[kofeebrown01]

Amazing. David Bryan can't hold a candle to Chad. I am a born and raised Memphis. David's version lacks soul. It left me flat and the ending was so anti climatic. Chad delivers a soul filled rendition that makes me hold my breath when he reaches that final note. They will start their tour here in Memphis soon and you better believe I'll be there

[MsAmirilaHigh]

He's good! But IMO, David Bryan does it better :/

But David doesn't have a choir :D

[gobamarama2008]

NAILED IT

[adaza56]

This was the song that touched me the most in Memphis! Very moving.......Chad is a great singer/actor! :-) Bravo!!!!

[thestar13]

His voice.... probably one of the best white Male Broadway voices I've heard (hes in the same category with Andrew Rannels and Aaron Tveit)

[CoolOKeefe]

Briljant singer, my deepest compliments

[cindilu2]

Saw this today in the special theater broadcast presentation and Chad blew. me away. Fantastic performances by all, but he really shone. Outstanding!

[mydreamstellme]

haha, i love him, except i could help but see a comedic version of young george bush when he performs. hehe. people are got hate on me for this, but it's true.

still amazingly talent guy and cast.

[itsmebriar]

CHAD KIMBALL <3

[emmalumberjack]

0 dislikes. As it should be. <3

[Memphis1943]

Great show. Great city. Come see us in Memphis. The streets are indeed "paved in soul."

[MissHeyle]

@drewcifer721 is that dirty?

[gavman888]

That C# is pure PERFECTION! Mr. Kimball is truly amazing!

[callancoughlan2009]

@gavman888 D actually! But yes, certainly agree with you! :)

[gotglasses]

Hockadoo!! I really enjoyed this show last week. So sick of revivals and glad to see fresh faces and new sounds. David Bryan of BonJovi and Joe Di Pietro collaborated on the score and could become Broadway legends, I hope so!

[Chloey0789]

Also becuase of "A-listers" were nominated this year...an unfair advantage..I dont care what anyone says...:S

[jenmize]

SO Happy for you Chad! You've been workin your tush off for a long time, and you're killin it! Lovin' it babe!

[lifetimeperformer]

This show was amazing! It was so much fun and the cast is so nice! My friend and I got a tour onstage at the end of one of the shows and were walking and looking and all of a sudden we hear this guy come up to us and say, "Hey! Guys! Whats up?" And it was Toddrick Hall. It was so funnny(:

[Misty15big]

Memphis is awesome :) I think Chad's character really makes the show... i met him in july after one of his performances. He was so modest about everything :)

[pjsloves5]

he is great, but I saw his understudy perform and OMG HE IS FANTASTIC!

[RachelVictoria53]

remind me again why neither chad kimball nor montego glover won a tony?

[jebeja]

@RachelVictoria53, "remind me again why neither Chad nor Montego won a Tony"? Because sadly the majority of the time it seems as if "the-powers-that-be", seem to have 'their own" picks.

[eugenekke123]

oh men i am jalous at chad hes not really better than david bryan but he shines in broadway. good luck Chad.

[Dudey1865]

I can't get over how much he puts into this performance alone. He looks in character the entire time, like he truely means every word he sings with such a passion. I would love to see him in this musical!!!

[SGong33]

the high E?... goosebumps

[TobyHine]

@SGong33 It's a D, as far as I can tell.

[aerosnowu2]

@SGong33

yep, it's a D. The ending goes like this if you want to play it on the piano....(song is in Amajor)

mem(F#)-phis(A) li(C#)i(D)ives(C#,B, A) in (A) me(A)...

[possessivepansy]

memphis is incredible. no other wat to descrbe it!!!!

[metzshawn]

Memphis is the best show on Broadway. I've seen it 5 times and could see it another 5. Chad Kimball was truly robbed of the Tony. No one could have delivered a more captivating, powerful performance on every imaginable level. I've seen just about everything on Broadway and in the last month, went to Million Dollar Quartet and Promises, Promises. Memphis raises the barre so much, everything else pales by comparison. It makes you want to get up and dance. A sequel would be fantastical. Hockadoo

[danncingpenny123]

I saw this musical in Manhattan last week :D

I was a little hesitant at first, but I cme out singng it's songs and praises!

(Hockadoo! Is that dirty? ;D)

[honeyb43]

going to see the show next week. can't wait!

i already have the cd, and love it!

[sarahli06]

Watched 3 musicals (Memphis, Mary Poppins and Wicked) over 2 days last weekend while on a 3 day trip to NYC. Unfortunately, we chose Memphis as the first musical to watch. It killed the other 2 musicals' enjoyment level for us!!! Yes, it rocks and the energy and singing level blew us away. Montego is the best female voice I heard on Broadway. The whole cast is fabulous!! The singing, the dancing is outstanding. Would watch Poppins, Wicked and then Memphis in order to enjoy all 3 best.

[nealbrice]

Just won the Tony for Best Musical.......HOCKADOO!!!

[nealbrice]

From the moment I saw this show back in Dec 2009 in NY I knew it would be at the TONY"S,,,,, and now it has just won the Tony for BEST MUSICAL and 3 other Tony's..... Chad and Montago were robbed,,,,,,,,, But BEST MUSICAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUU­UUGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

[kgmtime]

I saw Memphis on Friday night on Broadway, and LOVED it! Can't get the songs out of my mind. Great story, great dancing and singing! Great energy! Couldn't have been better! (except that the understudy played Chad's part, but he was GOOD!).

I'M rooting for Memphis for a Tony award tonight!

[nealbrice]

A damn sexy man!!!!!

[ledhead923]

saw this and kimball has an incredible voice

[starbuck68]

He. Is. AWESOME!

[xojaiserxo]

Love you, Chad! YOU ARE SO AMAZING!

[smilecuziloveyou]

i love him!

he's amazing and really sweet in person!!!

[nealbrice]

From the moment I cried that December 2009 night in that theather in NYNY... I knew you would get that Tony Nomination............CONGRADU­LATIONS...!!!!!

[freegirl96]

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nealbrice]

When will the Tony nominations be anounced? Chad needs to put that date on his........

[RandomPersonman]

@nealbrice and its awsome cause he's nominated for best leading actor!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[ladydarkflame9000]

"What does hockadoo mean? is it something dirty?" lol, that was my fave line in the entire play.

[nealbrice]

Chad looking good.........sexy!!

[drewcifer721]

HOCKADOO!!

[PrNycTina1091]

it was amazing! just saw it today! i loved it <3 especially this song! The entire cast was amazing!

[SarahBella246]

love Chad Kimball

love Memphis

its all so amazing. i got front row when i went. so amazing and the cast is SOOO nice!!

[jebeja]

Boy, I'm so sorry I missed out on this musical, I just found out about it today. Has anyone here seen the other musical with Montego Glover called, 'Saint Heaven'? That one looked really good too. Thanks for posting this video.

[ChristmasFreak12]

does anyone know when this cd will be on like itunes i want it soooo bad

[erwin131489]

It will be released nationwide on 30th of March. Probably on iTunes by that time

[hukilauzy]

just got back from the show, saw it november and it's even better, i finnaly got the soundtrack, it wasnt available in november.

once again, mahalo (thank you ) to the awesome crew of that show. i'm going again 2morrow!!

[hereitisfolks]

Shows like Memphis gave Broadway its good name. Memphis set a new standard from which musicals past present and future will be based. On a four star rating scale I give it five stars.

[HappyMadisonDude]

Man, I wanna see this show soooo BAD!!! LOOKS AMAZING!!

[stevey192]

Please someone tell me where i can get the piano sheet music for this song i really want to sing it for an audition :(

[jebeja]

@stevey192, Check the Playbill website, someone there should be able to help you out, if not they should be able to lead to someone else who can.

[shizmcnally]

this mannnn is so beautiful.

[cheersas247]

I saw this and next to normal in the same weekend and I HIGHLY RECCOMEND DOING THAT! It's a great contrast and you'll love both for different reasons! TRUST ME. It was an amazing experience.

[TerribleGreenBlizzrd]

Next to Normal and Memphis are totally different shows.

Memphis is a high energy, fun show. Amazing, I mean really great cherography, a fun high beat score(gets a bit repetetive) and amazing technical elements. Acting is good, not fantastic, but Chad does do good characterization. Killer voices, a nice story that entertains but is like Hairspray and Dreamgirls in a way. Overall very good fun show

[TerribleGreenBlizzrd]

Next to Normal, on the other hand, is like nothing you will ever find on Broadway. A fantastic rock score with variety in songs. A story that is so touching and meaningful. Characters that everyone can feel forand relate to. Unique and incredible lighting and set. A tight ensemble cast all giving out of this world performances, led by the amazing Alice Ripley and J. Robert Spencer. And, rather than being a tradegy, this shows has hope and humor. Beautiful crafted

[TerribleGreenBlizzrd]

They are like comparing apples and oranges though. Memphis is so flashy(nothing wrong with that) and fun. Next to Normal, is more intimate. Both great, Next to Normal being my favorite, but like I said, completely different experiences. See both.

[xavierny]

if you're on facebook!! join the group "Memphis the Musical Deserves the Tony" and invite your friends.

let's get 6,000 in the group - enough to fill radio city music hall for the tony's in spirit!

[martinimeowmeow]

Chad, will you marry me??

[bencubed]

That has to be Chad doing cameos on Letterman as Lyle the Intern.  watch?v=M2phGzJUwmo

[nealbrice]

"Can't be what I can't be." Wow.......was there at the Shubert last Saturday night, a great show, WOW.....perfection.......Sexy and cool.....wowowowow....see you guys at the Tonys in June..

[shorty77777777777777]

i saw the show as well it was just incredible i loved it

[AmIAmmons]

I love this show!

It was the first Broadway show I've seen.

[Zaldrien]

Im torn between either seeing this or Next to Normal when I go to New York to see a Broadway play. I think hearing him hit that D swayed my opinion. This is amazing.

[deathgoose9]

see next to normal. this show's good but next to normal is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

[JNJ18]

Quite honestly, both this and Next to Normal are awesome!! I don't know what play you're thinking of, but go for one of these shows. You won't regret. it. =)

[hukilauzy]

i had no idea what to expect? i love this show. it was AWESOME!!!! it;s still new so i was lucky to get tickets. i know the next time i go , it will be hard because the word will be out how good this show is!!!! best of luck "memphis" cast, see ya at the tony's!!!

mahalo,

all da way from hawaii!!!

[RJBmom7]

I saw this musical Saturday night. It was amazing. Excellent acting and singing by all the performers. It is well worth the money for a ticket, and the time and effort to get into the city. I would see it again in a heartbeat.

[ValdezVideos]

At first, I kind of had no interest in seeing this show. After listening to this song about 30830948 times, I HAVE TO SEE IT!

[faithhopelove0623]

ah! what a musical! So so good! =)

[cstock]

Great show!!! We went to a Sat. Matinee.. and there was a line up for several blocks to get in, but no one was upset.. we were all smiling because we felt the buzz even before we knew what we were going to see. The story is the only Original New Musical on broadway.. all the others have been there awhile, or are redo's of old shows. It was Odd to see a play that I had no Idea how it was all going to turn out! The music is great.. I can't wait for my CD to arrive! I got autographs!!

[edlcassidy]

This is one helluva great, compelling, remarkable musical -- and Chad Kimball and Montego Glover will have you jumping to your feet. A spectacular night of theater and one of Broadway's best!

[Naimasturn]

I saw this show two weeks ago and it blew me away. This song by Chad Kimball brought tears to my eyes (I'm not usually a cryer), as did "Love Will Stand When All Else Falls" by Montego Glover. I saw the show again a week later with friends and we were all blown away. We were dancing in our seats.

Everyone I spoke with on the way out of the theatre seemed to be high off of the show's energy. I hope it's remembered come Tony award time. Hockadoo!!

[Ryyankee1213]

This song is awesome! Saw the show on Friday night - it is fantastic! This entire cast is so talented. If you get a chance to see it - GO! You will not be disappointed.

Rock on Chad and the entire cast of Memphis!!!

[TotallyTySun]

wicked

[shutterbug93]

LOVE this video!! Chad is just SO incredibly talented!! He sounds AMAZING in this! :)

[RandRdriver]

WOW. Chad is Awesome!

[peepers57]

Saw the show in New York last weekend- fourth preview performance. Outstanding from start to finish. Great music, story, voices and dancing. Go see it if you can.

[BonkItOut]

Dude reminds me of a bluesy Elton John

[Jamaalish]

Chad sounds great!!!

[rutpop]

I have been listening to this song being sung by David Bryan for years and always loved it. Have to say I am loving there rendition too - great song, great performance - Cant wait to see the show on Oct 18th

[MsBean29]

wow!!!

[ppym86]

I could not be happier that Chad is finally getting his opportunity to shine on Broadway.
