We were all young and our like leader was Capathia Jenkins who had been around and is amazing. We did a lot of improv and the show was completely re-imagined. We kept very little of the original book. It was a lot of fun and we had a great time. Being able to be so creative and get that vibe where its not usually the case It was really kind of a dream come true to be able to have such success with it and the recording my first cast album. Stephen Schwartz was wonderful. Chad Kimball

![[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. Itââ¬â¢s 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 ââ¬â 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 itââ¬â¢s almost as if John Lennon wrote a musical. Itââ¬â¢s hard to say. Itââ¬â¢s almost as if he wrote a musical about his life because his song are very specific about who he was as an individualââ¬Â¦where he was goingââ¬Â¦where he had beenââ¬Â¦and his present life and its almost as if he wrote the songs to a book of his life that wasnââ¬â¢t written ââ¬Â¦you know what I mean? So thatââ¬â¢s what really interested me about it. Thereââ¬â¢s 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 couldnââ¬â¢t have been more different, I am thankful for both. - Chad Kimball Quotes](/pic/img/img.php?text=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&author=ICBDaGFkIEtpbWJhbGwgICAg&num=5 "[Going from one] jukebox musical ...
