A Scene from "Memphis" -- Best Musical?



From what I've seen of this show, I just don't see how it became the Tony winner for Best Musical. It just doesn't look that good. None of the nominated original musicals sparked my interest. I'm much more interested in some of the revivals. The Addams Family must have been pretty bad, as it was the only one of the five original musicals staged not nominated.   I think it is shocking that only five original musicals were staged. There were 11 revivals.  Sorry about the video starting automatically when you open the page.  I don't know how that happened.  If the above video doesn't work at all, try this link.

A friend saw this show a few months ago..and was raving about it. But i read several reviews and it got panned. After seeing this clip, i would agree that this is a "must-miss" show for me. Community auditions, anyone?

I saw it when it was being developed before it hit Broadway and I loved it. I don't know how it changed, but I would see it again based on what I saw a few years ago!
