Los Angeles designer Chad Kimball was up for a Tony award at last night’s ceremony in New York for his lead role in the musical “Memphis.”

Although he didn’t snag the top prize—that went to Douglas Hodge in “La Cage aux Folles”—Kimball’s show did win for best musical—a good sign that the show is headed for a long and successful run.

Chad Kimball, the designer of L.A.-based T-shirt line Obvious Clothing, has been nominated for a Tony Award in the Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical category for his role of Huey Calhoun in the Broadway musical Memphis.

Chad Kimball, president of L.A.–based apparel brand Obvious Clothing, has an unusual side gig even by La-la Land standards. He's not a DJ or a stylist or a racecar driver—he’s an actor in Broadway musicals.

Sing it, Chad!
