THE ME NOBODY KNOWS opened off-Broadway at the Orpheum Theater in New York on May 18, 1970 and played 208 performances.
It won the 1970 Obie and Drama Desk Awards including Best Musical. It transferred to the Helen Hayes Theater on Broadway December 18, 1970, subsequently moving to the Longacre Theatre and played a total of 378 more performances.
It received Five 1971 Tony nominations and closed November 28, 1971.
The show spawned two hits with “This World”, and "Light Sings". The Sweet Inspirations recorded both songs, then "This World" became a Top 10 R&B single for The Staple Singers, and “Light Sings”, became a pop hit for The Fifth Dimension.
The original cast went on to become stars including Irene Cara, Beverly Bremers, Hattie Winston and Northern Calloway.
Also in the original cast was Jose Fernandez, who went on to write "Fame: The Musical".
The SHOWTIME Television production included an introduction by James Earl Jones, and actress Tisha Campbell was among the cast members.
Donna Summer was in the first production in Hamburg, Germany.
THE ME NOBODY KNOWS has been performed throughout the world in cities such as Tel Aviv, London, Paris, Hamburg and (the then Apartheid) Johannesburg, receiving steady praise for the triumph of the human spirit that the show inspires.
The show continues to be performed throughout the country, and the music was recently celebrated in concert at 54Below in NYC.
A Broadway revival has been in the works for some time, hopefully to be realized, soon!

Her talent was super advanced for her age.
OMG we are soooolate lmao
Sure was. Multi-talented.
Wow! She was something!
Not really. When you look at all these kids on Disney channel. She’s pretty average compared to them
@@Joe-lc3sv but this was along time ago. Kids wasn’t doing what she was doing on Disney channel back then. They still rarely do that lol
Damn shame they didn't cast Black girls as Annie back then. She woulda crushed it easy. You go gurl.
Kind of glad she wasn’t cast; if you heard all the horrible stories they put the child actors through smh molesting and abusing them for their parts in these big movie scenes smh
That’s exactly why they didn’t cast black girls as Annie back then.
Whole organic facts
ABSOLUTELY!!!!
I felt she would've been a shoe in to play Annie too just as soon as I watched her
I don't know why YT blessed my timeline with this in 2024, but I'm grateful!
Same here. I had to go back up to the video to see that this posted 16 years ago. WOW!
Facts this just hit mine tonight ctfuuu 💃🤣
😂 same here
Same here! I didn’t know she’s been performing since she was a child!
Same, My thoughts exactly! She is just a Natural. Super gifted and talented 💯🐐! Awesome vid.
Yo that push was PERSONAL😂😂
he pushed her way too hard!!!
LOL
@@caroltz8220 Here we go, they were acting, and they were CHILDREN.
@@caroltz8220 I noticed that too! Maybe that's why there was always waiting to catch her?!
She killed it! She is amazing 😊
Damn she been doing this all her life, I didn’t even know she started so young
Me neither
I thought she and Tichina Arnold started with 'Little Shop of Horrors' together. This is new info to me.
I been telling people ,I first seen her when she and tachina Arnold sanged in little shop of horrors when they were teens then watched her on a 80s TV series called rags to riches where she plays an orphan yes shes been at it very long time
@Japhya Senorta Lil shop of Horror
Me neither
Tisha has always been a strong singer even when she was a child. Dang, she’s very talented and underrated.
Shut up
She was a ok singer tenisha arnold was a better singer from martn
she could've played Annie she has the cutest Broadway voice OMG. ppl unrated her
definitely unsung
what year is this
You Read My Mind!
Sami '74
That's the first thing I thought of...Annie!
Tisha REALLY needs a Unsung Hollywood episode about her life. Please make it happen.
@marcustrice3246 I agree 💯💯💯!!!
She's Not Unsung
AGREED..I was just thinking how Hollywood clearly did her wrong because holy cow she is MAGIC! ❤
SO many Black Stars where/are only shown with a fraction of how amazing they are.... SMH
Tisha!! YOU ARE AMAZING❤
@@DameonBrown-ey8cdI think she is because she should have been given WAY more recognition. She is one of my favs from the 90's... Love all her movies, TV etc... Hollywood should have put her at the TOP!!
Man she had a grown women voice as a child WOW!!!!
Will Dawg and face
Grown woman*
Just amazing.
I remember it being like that coming up miss them times damn🧐👀
If you think grown women sound like this, stay away from kids.
Dang, I didn't know Tisha was performing this young. She practically grew up on tv.
She won a talent contest at 5 and won a car. She was upset because she wanted a lower placement because she wanted to win a television
Neither did I….wow!!! 😳😍😍
This is so Broadway worthy lol her stage presence was so advanced, even as a kid
It was a recast in the 1980’s from the original Broadway musical “The Me Nobody Knows” 1970💜
AGREED...❤
GIVE BIG BOY HIS CREDIT TOO... HE GOT SOME SKILLS!!!💯
He sure do
That’s a grown man
Retired football player
@@uncoverthetruth8365 DAMN HE WAS GROWN & RETIRED FROM THE NFL THEN 😳
Correct
😂😂😂
Tisha Campbell is a VETERAN in the biz!
Yes she and her best friend Tichina Arnold have been actors for many years. They said they often went on same auditions 😊❤
Ms. Campbell is a legend.
Definitely
I had no idea she started this young. She definitely deserve her flowers
Facts
I see a little bit of Jurnee Smollett!
Yes!!
I was just about to say this 😂
I know I'm late but one time on Jurnee's Instagram she shared a text from her mother who was basically saying Tisha looks like she could have been one of her kids lol
@@ThaBombDotOrg Ur right on time, I'm late seeing the other replies. I didn't have on my notifications on. Lol Sorry ladies
Yeah their both light skin girls with black moms but it pretty much ends there. Tisha is wayyyyy more talented. A triple threat,.. sing, dancer, actor! She has a totally booming and powerful singing voice. And she's a great comedic actress, even in this small clip.
He’s not pushing her hard, she’s throwing herself its called performing.
Well she's doing an excellent job, because it looks like he's gonna shove her off the stage.
Yes thank you these freaking ppl and their lame sensitive comments..it's simply called acting lol
I thought I was crazy 🤦♀️ I was looking for the part where she was pushed hard 😅
@@lql1094 remember these stage plays are practiced over and over. When she’s pushed you notice the others performers catch her so it has to be done in a manner where she can reach them
He didn't push her hard at all.
She was a cute little girl. She still looks the same to me.
Very much
She hadn't grown into her head yet Lol
@@CarlyDayDay periooddddd
Exactly the same lol that adorable smile
Yesss!
She was born to be in showbiz👏🏽👏🏽❤️😍
I go back to Little Shop of Horrors and Rags to Riches, but this is way back.
I can watch little shop of horrors like I ain’t never watch it before and I only watch it for tisha and tichina.
Oh yeah... I remember Rags to Riches 😊
I loved Rags to Riches!
Rags to Riches was my show.
My childhood, oh the memories 🤩
Go Tisha, with that exceptional singing and dancing! Her arch nemesis is talented, too. 😊😊😊
She was definitely destined to be a star!! So adorable and confident. Her younger voice was stronger than most singers today
Wow her voice was powerful as a child.
She did well especially for her to be that young. She had coordination. Should have been a mega star.
Tisha is a mega star in Black Holywood. She's always been A-list to us.
@@BlakeGildaphish76 Yessir
@@BlakeGildaphish76 yess she has love her n tichina arnold
IS A MEGA STAR...... (not to late to delete this comment )....... [i know u meant well]
@@BlakeGildaphish76 exactly! We knew who she was and looked forward to seeing her act.
Her talent was unmatched, she’s been that girl for a longgggg time!🤩
She was a Natural no wonder she is still Relevant gone girl Lol
damn i knew tisha had talent but at this young age very impressive
Can we talk about how she was captivating even back the. Commanding the stage and those pipes! Man I have always been a fan! She is a beast! I remember seeing her for the first time on a show called Rags to Riches!
Yep! I saw her on Little Shop of Horrors first.
We went to Elmwood elementary school in East Orange, NJ back in the day.
I'M old😅
She's ALWAYS been a GREAT talent.
Awwwww awesome
So adorable! Her personality hasn't changed at all. Hate there was so many things that prevented her from completely fulfilling all of her talents called for.
Like her husband who came in the picture and derailed her then divorced her 20+ years later with $7 in her name.😠 the things we do for love🤷♀️
@@psstpsstheyyou3517 Yes. He should have just stayed away if he knew he was nothing.
@@psstpsstheyyou3517what did he do to “derail”her career? She has a great career and resume.
She has literally spent her entire life entertaining .....Tisha Campbell is a national treasure❤. Thank you, Queen🙏
Tisha is a tripple OG. I remember her on the show Rags to Riches too.
Me too!
That was one of my favorite shows as a kid
I never heard of the show, but I'll research it. I had no clue she started so early. Amazing!
Yasss so many people don’t remember that show. I loved it.
Yes, I used to love that show.
Wow she has such a powerful voice💗💗💗
Wow I didn't know Tisha Campbell did this wow she look so cute in this lol!
She is absolutely adorable! She is really talented & her big personality was there at such a young age. Amazing!
Wow,,,the African American Shirley Temple. Nice Tisha.
@Returnofthebrotha3 And wth do you think an African looks like?
@Returnofthebrotha3 Lmao obviously because you don’t want an answer do you know what an African American is?
Why does she even have to be Shirley Temple, though?
*alandadalyrimple-lala7088* That's what's wrong with you negropeans. You're always wanting to be "like" white skins.
Wow her voice was powerful and cute
awwwww she is soo cute. Her voice was strong af even then.
Kudos to Little Tisha for taking all that pushing and special kudos to the supporting actresses who made sure to catch her everytime. 👏
She had a very powerful voice and great stage presence!🥰
Born to entertain. Love Tisha!
She still has the same voice and personality!😄❤
Tisha was always talented. With a Big voice at such a young age. Go Tisha!!!
She was destined to be a ⭐
I saw this as a kid on cable t.v ... Ms. Campbell is a true testament to racism in the industry. Raw talent to limited roles. A true artistic actress who deserves her flowers! 2024.
Now I see where dem house party moves came from!! Lol she kilt it go tisha&for da record tisha could sing then&she can sing now!! Always loved her
Tisha is so talented!
Tisha looks too cute in this
The young Tisha Campbell's voice is strong and powerful. I wish she would release another album. It's been 31 years since her last album.
She sang her but off even at a young age!
HER HOME IS 15 MINS FROM ME. Meaning where she grew up in NJ!!
She's always had a big personality. Very expressive! ❣️❣️❣️
I could watch this video over and over....that Tisha was soooo adorable and talented!!!!!!.....
still talented now.
Tisha has always had command presence even as a child. She can steal a scene like this one or stand toe to toe with E. Murphy, M. Lawrence, D. Wayans, K. Hart. She also displays elite talents in House Party and Little Shop. A beautiful tripple threat who should be mentioned with the greatest female talents of our generation.
Lol wow, I had no idea she started out this young in entertainment. What a strong voice👍🏽
Wow she was so talented at such a young age
Wow she did so good as a child. This was amazing. I’m sure her parent knew they had something special with her.
Tisha Campbell, a little powerhouse! They were both great -- love the whole scene, the dancing, interacting, and music.
Tisha was born a star!!!!
Awesome talent awesome talent, both of the children are fantastic
I’m shocked she kept going she was pushed hard 😂 😂. Beautiful cast, great throwback thanks TH-cam
She was sssssooooo talented even as a youngster.
Tisha Campbell was talented even as a small child! I saw Tisha in person at Martin Lawrence's wedding 19 years ago.
BigBlueBeast how do you know them?
Nice
Damn she was incredible as a young kid
Ikr
Wow Tisha!! I knew that she & Tichina Arnold were child performers but never saw any of their earlier work.
We’re grateful for her personality on tv and film. She’s black americas funny cousin who we love dearly. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
She was very very talented, even at an early age.
Yes she was performing before House Party! She was also on a show called Rags To Riches in the 80's. A veteran actress!
So much talent!
She was (and still is) AMAZING
Tisha Campbell has had Talent all her life.
Tisha is a true entertainer 🌟
She is a real legend. Give her them flowers now
She's so talented. Highly underrated.
Ikr we mostly know her from sitcoms
RIGHT!!!!
Wow! What a cool and fun performance. Tisha Campbell as a child is such a buttercup 💛 ❤
I love seeing things like this, some ppl really have been hustling and grinding for their dreams all their lives. Very talented
Tisha Campbell has a great voice to be so young. Wow!
I always knew she could sing. But she can SANG, even as a kid. Amazing! 🤩
i’ve seen the music industry make artists out of randoms who can not write, sing, rap, read, nor play an instrument… it’s refreshing to know that back then you truly needed real talent to be a superstar
Before you know it, Tisha will be presented with the "Lifetime Achievement Award", if she hasn't already.
She has to do more than just Martin and the House Party franchise
@@charlesjonessr3684well there's also "Rags To Riches" and "My Wife And Kids". She also made a few cameos on "Everybody Hates Chris". She should be getting her award before too long.
@@skingerskanger But those don't add up for a lifetime achievement award especially at her age.
She's so freaking talented ❤️
Wow she's been so talented for so long I absolutely love her.
Tisha was amazing! I did not know she had that level of talent at such an early age. She should have landed a Nicalodeon contract. She lights up the screen.
This was so much fun to watch she is a legend
Wow!!! She's good! I didn't know she was such a seasoned actress & singer! Look how young she is, she's great!
Let’s not forget she was also BOMB in Spike Lee SCHOOL DAZE!!!!!✊🏿💕💕😍😍😍💅🏿💃🏽
She's adorable and a true talent
Ahww she was so cute :D
Baby Tisha is killin' it, a great performer.
Tisha Campbell was born to be a star! She was so cute with the cutest singing voice! You go girl!!! 😍❤🌷🌟💫
That dark-skinned young boy has a BEAUTIFUL voice
I said the same thing - I wonder who he is/was?
That just shows you how talented she is. Great actress.
My gosh!😳 She's always had such a big voice and she's always been a great singer! She would have been a great black Annie!😎🎤
Ikr
Very talented...she deserves everything.
She looks exactly the same wow...
