Tony Awards 2010 - MEMPHIS

[ImFancyPants]

American Idiot should have won, Memphis is great, I mean like fantastical and all but the orchestrations, passion and story found in Idiot are WAY better.

Great song.

I hope that one day I can watch a Tony ceremony where there aren't any sound issues....

[parsonsrules]

I introduced my daughter to Broadway and took her to six shows. We saw Mama Mia, War Horse, Phantom, Mormon, Lion King, and Memphis. She thought Memphis was the best. I believe it is very good and can understand why it won the Tony for best score. The songs really get you moving.  It also depicts the blatant bigotry that ran rampant in the South.

[DemarFalco]

This song makes me move baby!!!

[JAyala7293]

Saw this last week with Adam Pascal as Huey, and the entire show was phenomenal. It was the best show I've seen on Broadway

[FozzyForman]

Just watched this on Netflix...as nice of a song as this is...it does NOT represent the show well enough. Memphis is...absolutely stunning, and that's judging it without seeing it live. Montego Glover is the definition of a leading lady, and the music is actually fantastic.

[gsanchez1714]

I both American idiot and Memphis if I was the tony awards a would have given then both best musical in a tie

[3goodtimes]

I find it rather depressingly ironic to see a musical about Memphis feature a song called "Never Let Anyone Steal Your Rock and Roll" considering how much the white artists at Sun stole from black musicians for their own profit. And if this musical ends in racial harmony? It's way off base. Of course, all of the above could be wrong, I've yet to see it. Very talented actors and dancers either way.

[DavidSSabb]

@3goodtimes They do mention how rock and roll was stolen from black musicians.

And the short answer to the ending is no, but it's impossible to really explain out of context. It's a good show.

[HarryTheHoudini]

Still my current favorite

[theinsidepitch]

Omg that was incredible

[austinthebookworm5]

wait... did anyone actually think Green Day was better?

because no. just no.

[AdamEfimoff]

@austinthebookworm5 i thought the musical was

[brendanROX111]

I loved the dance sequence in the middle in the show. It was really visually entertaining

[Lillystudios]

I saw this play last wednesday and i loved it. This was my favorite song in thw whole show. It was playing in my head for hours and still is

[92dramageek]

I saw the show last week, and I was bawling like a baby from "Memphis Lives in Me" until I got to the stage door after the show. This show is one of the best shows I have ever seen and I can't wait to see them perform again on the Tony's on Sunday!!! :D

[SarahTheInvisible]

just saw this last night. my heart broke for huey, but it was still an amazing show.

[jbrennanwpg]

[AdamEfimoff]

[scorpioninpink]

[defygravity89]

[AdamEfimoff]

[iluvlittleshop921]

The one person who dislikes this video prefers American Idiot!

[AdamEfimoff]

@iluvlittleshop921 I did it was just amazing

[MilliaRage91]

OMFG luv this one

[KaichiiMoramii]

I saw this on a Theatre field trip yesterday. :D

We had a workshop with one of the actors, who taught us the last few lines of the song along with a modified version of the dance, earlier that day, so when we saw the performance, my entire section was singing along and clapping.

Everyone else was annoyed by it, but we were having a ball. xD

[pinoyidol2006]

@KaichiiMoramii

I'm really happy for you and your group, but you have to realize that you guys may also have ruined the experience for "everyone else". A ticket to a Broadway show is rather expensive.

[aly2245]

i went to see this during the summmer and it was just breathtaking. the dancing, singing, acting EVERYTHING was just phenomenal <3 the cast was super sweet met them all afterwards :]

[Sopholoaf]

going to c this cant wait :)

[dinahmission]

great!!! superb.....

[monkeymyboy]

and THAT is why Memphis is better than Green Day.

[SuperGilfte]

@monkeymyboy I saw Both. American Idiot is better, Storyline wise and Music was. Just saying.

[merbethmango]

@SuperGilfte i'm just agreeing. American Idiot was AMAZING !

[VidWatcher45673]

@monkeymyboy you mean 0:00 to 3:43 right? Because if so, I wholeheartedly agree with you.

[TheCodywilliams1]

This entire musical made me cry, it was the absolute best musical I have ever seen! It touched my heart more then ever!

[iluvlittleshop921]

@TheCodywilliams1 It touched my heart too!

[zoerphl]

this makes me cry for some reason

[kaelnyria]

This is a cool mash up -- took some great elements from the show to make this (this isn;t how this song goes in the show ;) But it was amazing - I cried during this number just from the pure awesomeness!

[RandomPersonman]

this should have been nominated for best choreography to

[iluvlittleshop921]

This made me fall in love with Memphis! I wanna see the show NOW!

[TytoAnu]

Memphis was a wonderful musical! Montego is amazing. <3

[sarahmcook]
