Chad Kimball Quotes on Man (1 Quote)

Going from one jukebox musical ... I read the script for Lennon and thought this is right up my alley. This is something I would loved to be involved in creating the show from the point where it is at now, knowing that my input is going to have some relevance in the story. Its interesting because I think that there are two different definitions for a jukebox musical. The first is the kind of Mamma Mia, Good Vibrations, All Shook Up theme the kind that creates a story around a catalog of music. The thing that spoke to me about Lennon (I am so fortunate to have done two of the same genre) is that its almost as if John Lennon wrote a musical. Its hard to say. Its almost as if he wrote a musical about his life because his song are very specific about who he was as an individualwhere he was goingwhere he had beenand his present life and its almost as if he wrote the songs to a book of his life that wasnt written you know what I mean So thats what really interested me about it. Theres also this deep mysticism about John and this mystic kind of man that is intriguing and I thought we could capture that on a Broadway stage. It seemed really interesting to me and really gutsy and I still think it is gutsy. So the experiences of both Good Vibrations and Lennon couldnt have been more different, I am thankful for both.
