It's one of those roles where you realize why you got into theatre and without sounding too proud, its just one of those moments where you feel born to play a role that was made for you. Its a great show and I really hope it find its way to Broadway. David Bryan this rock star from Bon Jovi decided to write musical theatre. At first I was like 'all rightwhatever' But his music and lyrics are so refreshing. It reminds me a lot of Yazbek but more gospel and RB influenced. Its the best original music I have heard in a long time.
More Quotes from Chad Kimball:
Its a point where we kind of step out as actors again. You can hear the audience gasp because they have waited all night to hear those first chords of Imagine and there is a space - and then it starts. It feels important.Chad Kimball
We had a great drama department and a great on site voice teacher actually. I started taking lessons with her and doing some community theatre. Then when I was seventeen, I did some professional theatre gigs locally and had already made up my mind that thats what I really wanted to do and my parents really never questioned it.

I was talking to somebody the other day, it was Seth Rudetsky He said 'when did you learn to sing He said please dont say in Church. Thats where I learned to sing.Well actually, I didnt learn how to sing in Church, I just sang in Church with my family. My family was quite musical. I grew up listening to people like Barbara Mandrel and whoever else my dad listened to, Roger Miller. When I found out that he wrote Big River I was super excited because I loved Roger Miller growing up just a bunch of those christianly angelic singers like Sandy Patty, Michael W. Smith, you know all those people. Thats where I got my influence.

I dont know. I would love to do some TV, but what Id really love is to see Memphis on Broadway. It would be the crowning jewel in my careerif my career were ending in a few years (laughs) but its one of those roles that you just love doing I cant wait for it to come here be seen. It is (not to sound dramatic or anything) but a triumph and return to the American Musical.

They were filming this TV pilot called Adventures of St. Clair Island in Seattle . It was really kind of low budget. It wasnt like Hollywood they were filming in Seattle and trying to shop around. My brother was into summer stock Seattle s children theatre and I was about seven, I think, and they were having auditions. Our elementary school had gotten the 'word' and my brother was going to go. I asked if I could go too and my mom said sure. I went - and ended up getting it over him and two thousand kids, it was ridiculous That was my first thing and then when I was about twelve I was in Our Town . I was Joe the paperboy and I was fantastic. I was amazing. I brought the house down with three lines. There are no small roles, only small actors. (he laughs) So thats how I started, and from there on I knew that was what I wanted to do. There was really no question for me.

Many children work hard to please their parents, but what I truly longed for was good times that were about us, not about me. That is the real hole the Dodgers filled in my life.
