Gosh,this was a great musical. Saw the original cast in 8th grade, and they completely blew me away. I was hooked after the opening number. What a show.
Valimore Azarius I first saw it five years ago when the original Broadway cast did a filmed performance for movie theatres. Then I saw it on national tour four years ago in Costa Mesa and now I'm seeing it live for my 2nd time next month. A theatre down the street from my house is doing the show.
Valimore Azarius I saw it in 2010, about 6 months after it opened. I wanted to take my mom to see it when they were at the Kennedy Center, but we were too late.
Memphis is one of my favorite musicals ever and this song brought it out with a bang! I first saw this at the movie theatres presented by Fathom Events with the original Broadway cast. A year later, I saw the national tour in Costa Mesa
OMG HAILEY I didn't know you had a UA-cam account... Ha, I just like the way the song sounds, but I guess you weren't kidding about studying for the solo thing! Try to guess who I am :3
I did this song for broadway nights (first real choir performance) and I got one of the solos it was so much fun also counting the beats are much harder than you think
Play video HUEY: I listened to advice from folks smarter than me, And I ignored it. I listened to hatred from folks richer than me, And I deplored it. I listened to music from folks darker than me, And you know I adored it! FELICIA/COMPANY: First come's a point in everybody's life When they gotta stand up and face a fight. There comes a point in everybody's life, When they gotta wonder if they done right. I swallowed my fear, followed my heart right here, And through it all one almighty thought stood clear- Listen to the beat, listen to the beat Play it, obey it, love it with, love it with your feet. HUEY: Oooh oh oh Listen to your soul, listen to your soul, Heed it, FELICIA: Heed it HUEY: Ya need it FELICIA: Ya need it, HUEY: Let it make/ let it make you whole. And if ya listen to the beat And hear what's in your soul- You'll never let anyone steal your rock 'n roll! HUEY/FELICIA/COMPANY: Listen to the beat, listen to beat Play it, play it Obey it, obey it Love it with/love it with your feet! Listen to your soul/listen to your soul Heed it, heed it Ya need it, ya need it Let it make you whole! And if ya listen to the beat and hear what's in your soul- You'll never let anyone steal your rock 'n roll! Listen to the beat and hear what's in your soul- You'll never let anyone steal your rock 'n roll. Listen to the beat, listen to the beat Play it, obey it Love it with your feet!

And if you listen to the beat And hear what's in your soul- You'll never let anyone/ never let anyone/ Never let anyone steal your rock 'n roll! Last U

Sorry to hear that! Just out of curiosity, what's it like when you stepped into the Kennedy Center for an evening/afternoon of theatre?
