I love both American Idiot and Memphis BUT when looking at both as a whole, Memphis comes out on top. AI refers to our generation and rocking out, but Memphis is more than rock and roll - it has heart and soul. Congrats Memphis! ^_^
Fabulous musical. I feel so privileged to have seen this a second time. I will not delete the program I taped on PBS. It's great!!! I'll watch it again and again as it's a feel-good production.
+Debbie Diamond It really is fabulous and it's one of my favorite musicals. I saw the filmed performance with the original Broadway cast twice and the show live in person once when it came to California!
They deserve everything they are so amazing!!! I didn't want to cry like a baby during the performance but it was pretty close I was shaking in the end, it's such a fantastic show!
i met one of the actresses from memphis yesterday at this workshop my class did and she taught us the choreography while someone else taught us the music and she said that they were so excited that they won they couldn't dance ankept messing up until the choreogrpher or someone came on stage and told them to just have fun
My drama class took a trip to New York and we did this, too!!!!!!! It was so much fun!!!!!! It was right before they won, so when they won, it was so exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They really deserved that award (Just saying that cause I live and was born in Memphis!), but I know they are on a time slot, but Sean and the Tony company could have given them more time to talk, like really!!!!!
@MiamiJoe739 Montego has powerful and great voice, but her acting pales in comparsion to Jones' superb performance as Desiree. The award goes to Best Actress, not Best Singer. Did you by any chance see Catherine in A Little Night Music?
She's Bernadette Peters. Bernadette Peters does not mess up. When one is the Queen of Broadway, you're mistakes automatically become right. No but in all seriousness, where?
@matt13r1 perhaps so, but Memphis was the only one with totally original music... not Green Day's, or Elvis' etc, or Fela Kuti's. Technically, the name for this category should be 'best original musical'. but yes, AI does have an amazing score"
The only travesty was that Montego Glover lost out to Catherine Zeta Jones name power as she was the shining star on Broadway this year. Memphis was CLEARLY the BEST
the only reason this show won best musical is because of the overall weak category that season. it was/is NOT a great show, it was" luck" in the timing because it was nonimated with such lackluster competition. had it been up against really great shows, ie: the lion king, wicked, rent, jersey boys, book of mormon, ect, it would not have won. had it been nominated the year before, it would have lost to a truly brilliant show, billy elliot! smart decision by the producers to delay a year!
Memphis truly deserved to win Best Musical!
Love it so much....Such a shame that the leading actress and leading actor didn't win the awards
lol I love how they're all standing there quietly and then Memphis goes NUTS. lol Congrats Memphis! ^_^
I LOVE MEMPHIS THE MUSICAL SO MUCH Best Musical Hands Down In 2010 Soundtrack Is Phenomenal 😍😍🙂👍🏻

So fuckin awesome to see David in the spotlight!!
+ladyxandria I'm not a big Bon Jovi fanatic but truly is awesome. His music for Memphis is sensational
one of the best shows i've seen on broadway, if not the best.
Happy they won, but it's ridiculous how many people went up to accept the award.
Go Memphis!

@wickedvmac MEMPHIS ROCKS!!!
@v2hearts i just discovered on netflix. i immediately got hooked. i'll be seeing it live soon.
I have absolutely no recollection of writing that comment, therefore no idea where she messed up! Queen of Broadway status proved!
Way to go TheatreWorks!!!
David rules!!!.. Bon Jovi wouldn't be complete without him! :D
@lvenge MEMPHIS deserved to win!
Love When David Bryan Comes In around: 03:02
Wow David Bryan deserves this no doubt!!! hey, is it possible that you send me this video buddy? I would greatly appreciate it...Thanks in advance!!!
@MiamiJoe739 I so agree.
They really deserved that award (Just saying that cause I live and was born in Memphis!), but I know they are on a time slot, but Sean and the Tony company could have given them more time to talk, like really!!!!!
wow i have met randy adams the guy who kept rambling on
@iluvlittleshop921 and how exactly do u know this
@MiamiJoe739 Montego has powerful and great voice, but her acting pales in comparsion to Jones' superb performance as Desiree. The award goes to Best Actress, not Best Singer. Did you by any chance see Catherine in A Little Night Music?
So many technical errors ugh ruins the moment
She's Bernadette Peters. Bernadette Peters does not mess up. When one is the Queen of Broadway, you're mistakes automatically become right. No but in all seriousness, where?
I understand they were running out of time but there are better ways of interrupting than "Just keep talking" kinda rude
+Buzz Bean At least they got onstage for the last time
presenter messed up a bit :/ x

@rootbeeronbroadway how did Memphis deserved to win best musical
@unhappyegg and u know this how exactly
but ngl the producer's voice at the beginning annoys me
@lvenge Both shows are great, but Memphis really was better. Sorry!
Why the fuck didn’t American Idiot win best musical
they typically prefer shows with original music
But all three showed some respect for Memphis.
how did Memphis beat American Idiot?
