The Tony Award Winning musical, Memphis, is coming to the big screen. Last week performances were filmed with the intent of releasing it to a movie theater near you beginning this spring.

The production company behind it all is called Broadway Worldwide. From January 18-21 performances were filmed with HD cameras, and the edited result of all performances and tracks will be released to theaters soon.

The 2010 Tony Award Winner for best musical will be the first musical ever to hit movie theaters while still running on the Broadway stage. Starring in this uncommon event will be Chad Kimball and Montego Glover. Both actors received Tony Award nominations for their lead roles.

It is indeed rare for a Broadway production to be filmed and released as a cinematic experience. However, the intent is that the movie will draw extra attention to a national tour of the show which is coming soon. Additionally, the show in New York is only in its second year, so producers are hoping this movie event will spark some interest in the public.

Memphis the Musical is on Broadway now at the Shubert Theatre in New York City.

Memphis the Musical starring Chad Kimball and Montego Glover has become a broadway sensation.
After the musical about the birth of rock ‘n’ roll in the 1950’s received a visit from first lady Michelle Obama, and first daughters Sasha and Malia, it got the jump it needed. Without an unfamiliar title and starring actor in addition to a mixed review opening, the show is becoming a legitimate hit at the box office.

Sue Frost, one of the lead producers of Memphis the Musical says what the show is experiencing is a “slow and steady build.” It seems as though this is the case since the show opened in the Fall of 2009, and is finally picking up speed now.
