This was such a fantastic production of Chess. When it came to Toronto I went to see it three times and would have gone again if it had played longer. Thanks for the upload!
Enjoying this more than I thought I would.
Thoroughly enjoyed it! Such work and effort - the musical pieces so enchanting, not perfect but then this ain't Kabuki :)) Wonderful hearing all the small departures from the original in this interpretation, and such powerful performances. ✨
I LOVED this tour, its up there as being one of my favourite version cuz of the setting, staging and costumes. The principle cast was excellent, its definitely a production where having actor/musicians really worked in its favour. such a shame it didn't tour for longer in more venues and go into the West end. I understood it went over to Canada after the UK tour ended. i think it was well received over there too. Still have a fondness for the first tour and then the version in the mid 90s with jacqui Sciot as Florence where ended on Nobodys side, that was fab! But this comes a close 2nd in my eyes as a reimagined concept. Bravo and thanks for sharing. never thought i'd see this version again. :-) X
exellent ! Thank You!
I haven’t seen this musical. Thanks.
I saw this tour and it was truly excellent, particularly Shona White, though I also had a soft spot for James Graeme's very hammy Walter (was surprised to learn he'd been the Phantom!) Much better than the later revival - aka "The Michael Ball Show" (though that did have Cassidy Janson)
Hold them high notes Freddie
so cool i love it
super !
I think the actress who played Svetlana in this did a much better Russian accent than Barbara Dickson. Don't get me wrong, Barbara Dickson has an AMAZING voice and I am a huge fan of hers. But when she sang the song with Elaine Paige in the original production in the 80s, despite her trying to do a Russian accent, her Scottish accent was too strong. She still sang it beautifully but this woman's Russian accent is better ♟🤩
Love the acting, though I've noticed their emphasising all the wrong parts. It sounds off.

In what universe would a Chess arbiter be shirtless? Chess is very conservative. Maybe if he's an arbiter of an underground Chess championship in 3024 or if he was the arbiter of underground drag racing. Lol. Grear costune. I like it. Its just a strange costume choice.
👁🍬 Brings in more viewers LoL
look at the original music video with bjørn skifts
This is way too sexualized.. and it seems like the Russian is plowing thru his spoken lines and sung lines are very clipped so far. Much prefer the original London staging. Or even the concert version with Josh Groban. More classy in my opinion. And this thing with the actors playing the instruments should have ended with Sweeney when they did it. Nothing but a gimmick that takes the audience out of the show.
