I got a text from a friend in NY seeing "Memphis." She said there's a 15 minute technical delay. I'm not sure why though. Hope it gets worked out!

Too bad for that audience. They could have been spared.

So it was delayed as opposed to stopped?

I saw Memphis on 7/21 (The evening show) and it stopped for about 15 minutes in the middle of Act 1 for 'technical issues' which we later found out was some lighting problems...

I don't know if this could be a similar problem they experienced today?

They were attempting to fix the score and book, but decided it was a lost cause.

All of you. STOP IT RIGHT NOW. Don't you know that once a show wins a Tony Award, you're not allowed to make fun of it? Or did you learn nothing from "Hockadoo! The Memphis Love Thread"?

When I saw it last January the show stopped right at the top of "Memphis Lives in Me" because the sound wasn't working at all. I felt bad for Chad.

And by "sound wasn't working at all," Vespertine1228 meant "the pre-recorded track had problems."

I don't know what makes you say that. What is certain is there's a lot of catty, unnecessarily bitchy people who think they're funny in this thread.

Crazy stuff - i guess thats live theatre for ya.

Memphis haters: was the show groundbreaking? no. But was it entertaining? yes (that is if your not a snob). I'm convinced that people love-to-hate the show JUST because it won the tony and it's actually selling tickets. To each his own, but i just dont get all the hate.

PS - i do have to admit that i LOL'ed at the Chad Kimball night off joke... but he was on tonight and the fans sang happy birthday for him at the stage door.
