Chess isn’t just Cold War drama.
This revival digs into mental illness, fractured loyalty, & the pressure of genius on the edge.
Freddi, Florence, & Anatoly make this once-troubled musical sing.

Show number two. I have wanted to see this on stage since always. Not thrilled with LM being cast but that's okay.

#HuskerDust broke my heart today, but maybe three hours with #Stolas will fix me?

What really struck me about the experience was how small the theater was for a big show. I’m used to the 4,500 seat Fox at home where Broadway shows tour. The Imperial seats just 1,500. Makes such a difference.
Looking forward to seeing more shows here down the road.

The Arbiter doing double duty as a narrator adds humor that wasn’t there in the original. I would dial him back a bit in a couple of places, however, because the audience laughs at some lines from orher characters that undercut the previous dramatic moment/song.

Had a great time at Chess last night. The changes they made all work well and they do help with the story.
The crowd loved it. I imagine there’s some bias there from so many long time fans like me. I’m curious how many folks going are new to it.

Selfie of me sitting in the mezzanine of the Imperial Theater in New York. I am holding the Playbill for the musical Chess. Behind me is the stage where the backdrop shows an American flag on the left and a Soviet flag on the right.
I. Am. Beyond. Excited. Right. Now.

I am still kicking myself for not seeing Chess at the Kennedy Center with Raúl Esparza and Ramin Karimloo several years ago. *That* was dream casting.

So all my adult life I've wanted this to happen and while I'm super excited, I confess I'm having a bit of a "but why with her" reaction. Also that teaser is giving me "Run Joey" video vibes from Glee, especially with her expression (IYKYK). #chessonbroadway

Low level excited about the new #ChessOnBroadway production even tho I am completely unfamiliar with the leads. Couldn’t be more topical and I hope there are some subtle nods to current events. Ironically the last time I saw it was at the #KennedyCenter.
