Wonderful! I’ve been a Chess fan since the original concept album. My Swedish is pretty poor, but I watched it through. Would have loved to see Helen, Tommy & Josefin on stage in this production.
Text-Setting is the technical term for properly translating song lyrics so that the meaning/rythm/rhyme/intonation etc all work. Both Chess & KFD struggle hard to convey the original meaning when they go between English and Swedish. If you understand both languages, you notice a 'stark' difference between the english and Swedish versions of 'Someone Else's Story'/'Inte Jag' + 'Anthem'/'Mitt Hjärtas Land' and conversely 'Du Måste Finnas'/'You Have To Be There' from KFD has the same issue when text-set to English. It's fascinating.

2:45 I love the reference to the "A Chorus Line" musical opening 🤣
Chess är det överlägset största som hänt Sverige i musikalväg. Tack för uppladdning!

@@MonoMusicAB Thank you! I missed that! I will have to watch again! Tack så mycket!
Wow, thanks for posting this, it brings back great memories, I played Molokov in a community production back in 2014.
A tip: you can watch movies on Flixzone. Been using them for watching lots of of movies during the lockdown.
@Edwin Immanuel Definitely, I've been watching on Flixzone for since november myself =)

Gorgeous! Brings back a lot of memories.
Excellent story on how Chess came to life.
This is so wonderful! It can be challenging to keep going with our own creative pursuits, but this is definitely an inspiration for my music.
Thank you so much for posting. Such a talented cast!
Fantastisk!
Love it very much
Har du själva musicalen åkså
Den finns hela redan uppladdad på youtube. Sök bara "Chess på svenska"
