Product description

Memphis - The Original Broadway Production

Review

"Enthusiastic interviews with the creators and cast, and a fascinating explanation of how the show was recorded and shot for distribution." --AV Club January 2012

"OK, time to stop kicking yourself that you didn t catch composer (and Bon Jovi keyboardist) David Bryan s 2010 Tony Award winner for best musical when it was tested out at Beverly's North Shore Music Theatre several years back. This definitive presentation was recorded live on Broadway at a series of performances last January and features Tony nominees Chad Kimball and Montego Glover at their boogie-down best." --Boston Globe January 2012

"In case you don t have a trip to New York on your schedule, and missed the brief theatrical run, you can now see the theatrical version on DVD, courtesy of Shout! Factory. It's well worth your while, not only for fans of musical theatre, but also for those interested in the art of recording live performances." --Popmatters.com January 2012

    5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Blu-Ray
    Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    I became interested in Memphis - the musical when I happened to stumble upon it on Netflix. I liked it, enough that when the Blu-ray became available, I ordered it knowing the superior picture and sound would be much appreciated. I was not disappointed and loved it!

    First, the technical achievement of filming a live stage show and presenting it with first rate sound is exemplary. The production crew succeeded in a big way. The performances by the actors is no less commendable.

    Some don't like Chad Kimball's portrayal of Huey Calhoun (somewhat based on real-life DJ, Dewey Phillips). I get that, but I find him to be authentic in a goofy Gomer Pyle sort of way. With his optimism, humor, passion for music and indifference to race (in the 1950's), he is likeable. His manerisms take some getting used to, but so what? His heart and soul is really, well, the heart and soul of the show. Being the Felicia character is black and apparently has much more going for her than Huey does - and that she falls for him after seeing his passion and doing so much to realize her dreams, it isn't so unimagineable that they are drawn to each other. Not by a long way.

    Montego Glover is phenomenal. She sings the pants off every tune she attempts. "Colored Women" is a definite highlight. The supporting cast is excellent too. There are many fine performances, right down to the last ensemble member. This isn't high-brow or sophisticated musical theatre, but it is extremely entertaining if you like good music, good acting and good story telling.

    I had the good fortune to see the tour of Memphis recently, and it is even better than the excellent Blu-ray recording of the Broadway cast. If you get a chance to see it in person, don't miss it. The entire cast was awesome.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An Exciting and Profound Production!
    Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2012

    My hubby and I are so glad Amazon carries this fantastic movie of the Best Broadway Musical of 2010, "Memphis the Musical."
    We watched it on PBS, got blown away with joy and amazement, ordered it right away, and now have seen it for the third time. It's very rare for us to watch anything more than once! We also like to re-visit some clips on YouTube.
    I still marvel that the cast must perform at this peak-level talent and excellence for nightly performances and even matinees, well-captured in this video. My admiration for their thrilling performance abilities - and their stamina! -- just knows NO bounds!
    Especially since ALL the material is superb - the songs and dances dramatically portray the 1950's themes of social injustice via radio stations' suppression of black music - and of course the big taboo against black/white romances. Our hero-DJ Huey Calhoun (the utterly awesome singer Chad Kimball, playing this sometimes goofy but very intelligent guy) tries to pioneer the breakthroughs in both the music and the relationships, at his great personal expense. There is sorrow, yes - but also hilarity and triumph galore! And it is hard not to love and admire every single member of this fun and fabulous cast.
    This is an overall thrilling entertainment experience - a great story brought to dazzling life in a tremendous production!

    The video of Memphis: The Original Broadway Production was everything and more than anticipated. I had seen it when it was on tour and it was outstanding to say the least.

    Though not like seeing it on the big screen, the video is the next best thing. The cast is superb and for those of us who grew up during the 50's and 60's, the music will bring back many memories.

    This award winning production is based on a true story of the beginnings of Rock and Roll. If you weren't aware or around during this bit of history and even if you were, it is really informative and thought provoking as well as entertaining. Lot's of behind the scenes of what didn't make the newspapers and tabloids.

    A piece of innovation and genius is that they filmed this during an actual performance while it was still on Broadway. It gives you the feeling of being in the audience of the Shubert theater without having to travel out of your living room.

    My advise is to buy yourself a copy, pop some corn, invite your friends, insert the video into your DVD player, sit back and enjoy the whole experience of Memphis.

    When I saw Memphis on Broadway some years ago from the first row of the Shubert Theatre, I was blown away by its energy, its fantastic score and the performances of Chad Kimball and Montego Glover. Its story of segregation in the 1950's and how so-called "race music" crossed over to become popular with all audiences had a powerful message. The songs and choreography make this Tony Award-winning musical a wonderful experience.

    Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2012

    I love Memphis. My sister and I have seen it at least 3 times since it came out and love it. It is a fun musical and if you have not seen it and are buying the dvd, do both buy the dvd so you can watch it as many times as you want but also see the musical because when you go to the musical it keeps it going and their is nothing like the atmosphere at a Broadway Musical. Knowing how much I love this musical I will probably have to buy myself another copy after a few months because I will watch this DVD so much. The musical has soul and is one of the most amazing musical of this generation.

    My husband and I have seen Memphis on Broadway twice and absolutely love it. This filmed version is extremely well done, capturing the feel of the live performance. You will not be disappointed.

    Since we live on the west coast it is not possible to go to NYC more than every 2 years. I love the ability to watch this great musical whenever we want to. The music is fabulous. The acting is great. I am not sure what more you could want for less than $20 to own.

    If you have the ability make sure you go to the Shubert Theatre on Broadway and see this musical in person. You will walk away singing the songs of this great musical.
