We are happy to welcome guest celebrity blogger Chad Kimball, a 2010 Tony nominee for his performance in the new musical Memphis. Kimball, who has also been seen on Broadway in Into the Woods, Good Vibrations and Lennon, blogged for Playbill.com all week; his final entry follows:I'd like to thank Playbill for allowing me to blog this week...it's been a nice outlet for me. So thanks Playbill! Keep up the good work!
Looking back to 2003 when we had a our first production of Memphis at the North Shore Music Theatre in Beverly, Massachusetts, I remember thinking then that this show would make it to Broadway. There was never a doubt in my mind. Along the way, the one constant has always been the audience. The thrill people get from watching the show is a beloved gift. It is something I will always cherish. Awards are wonderful. But we are here for the audience. We are always here to engage other human beings. And we are doing that in Memphis. So. I wish my fellow nominees well, and all nominees good luck. and thank you. for inspiring humanity all across broadway in this 2009-2010 season! Hockadoo!
