100% agree. I mean, she's fine if you like her, but I don't think she was cast well for this character. It's just over-the-top and I think the character works best when there's a balance between fragile, soft, forceful and naive. She just sings the words off the page for me. She's a powerhouse, of course, but just not right for this (my opinion).
even so, this isn't a play or a show they've been doing for a long. The main actors were probably told about the roll a few weeks before. Would rather have a tele promter just in case instead of a singer forgetting what to sing. Now if this was a full out musical play and the actorst had been doing the roll for over a month, then yeah, I would agree with you.
Abonanno24601 totally agree. Would rather see them glance at a teleprompter then forgot the words. And it’s not like the are looking at it the whole song. They glance at it every so often.
Terible Teri the Broadway version is shit, the worst version that's been done of chess, really, the changes they did, god And there weren't even good singers
Honestly, the best Florence I've ever seen was Jodi Benson in 1991 at Long Beach Civic Light Orchestra. Look up clips on YT and tell me she doesn't blow you away. She went on to do Arielle in The Little Mermaid (the movie), but her Florence is just stunning.

The leads are great, but good lord the supporting cast in this is superb.
My husband and I quote "That's still good" all the time. Such a great show...
I keep forgetting the trick with the titles for these videos and thinking, "Ooh! Forbidden Broadway must've done a Chess satire named Checkers."
I can't get over how beautiful the music is in this show! I'm astonished.
All the songs were composed by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus from the pop rock supergroup ABBA. They are truly geniuses!
@@JF-sh2sm Music by Benny and Bjorn , lyrics by Bjorn and Tim Rice.
Oh my this woman has a gift. Idina is amazing, her voice touches deep. I feel the lyrics. Great great great...
The Embassy Lament guys were fantastic!
They reminded me of the Fidelity Fiduciary Bank scene from that one movie...
@@cannedmusic Ha! They do!
Heaven Help My Heart is one of my favorite songs from this musical. Idina is amazing!
I think it’s so cool how she is dressed black and he is dressed white like opposite chess pieces
The clothes change throughout to portray the sides they are on, whether to do with the game, or politically, or romantically.
The embassy is my favorite thing which has happened thus far
It's just a great piece of music
5:13 Oh god, I love the embassy
They remind me of muppets
adam pascal is amazing!!!
idina menzel is exquisite!! thank you for uploading all this :)
I do miss the typewriter sound effects in the background of the Embassy number.
is anyone else reminded of Oompa Loompas with the Embassy men?
me!
omg now i read your comment and i cant unhear or unsee that|!! lol
Calling the video ‘Checkers’ instead of Chess? Very clever and thank you for posting
I liked the lady who played Florence...she's wicked!
wICkedly talented
Her singing left me frozen...
Funny that the picture of Josh put up on the screen as Anatoly is from Closer
watching this i forget that adam and Idina did Rent together lol.

Adam Pascal is ..... wow.
I'm generally a fan of Menzel... but I don't think she was right for this production. The rest [including Idina's other work] are quite good.
100% agree. I mean, she's fine if you like her, but I don't think she was cast well for this character. It's just over-the-top and I think the character works best when there's a balance between fragile, soft, forceful and naive. She just sings the words off the page for me. She's a powerhouse, of course, but just not right for this (my opinion).
You see I'm not a huge fan, and I loved Elaine Paige but I love her version.
even so, this isn't a play or a show they've been doing for a long. The main actors were probably told about the roll a few weeks before. Would rather have a tele promter just in case instead of a singer forgetting what to sing.

Один из любимейших мюзиклов. Этот состав великолепен🔥Из России с любовью❤
5:13 those jazz hands
What u see is a live feed of the conducter conducting the band or the singers
Adam Pascal's voice is just perfect for this role!
ahh. love adam
Embassy Lament is very Yes, Minister.
Argh! Checkers Part 9 has stopped working (it won't play though I can view it). Anyone have a working version?
Aha love the embassy
They're both great performers -- but she's the better actress. He doesn't emote like she does. Gotta be fair.
Alexander McGrath: Josh Groban is worse. The man can sing, but he can't act.
Yeah I think she's better than he is.
@@AMcGrath82 What the fuck are you watching? Josh started in theater school, just because isn't his primary job doesn't mean he can't.
DJSanders 23 is right, at 6:36 you can start seeing them. The blue light you mention is no the edge of the stage. The teleprompters are off-stage.
All this for the love of a man....heaven help my heart: I love him too much!
they turned it into an eighties everything Broadway soundtrack it's lacking the magic of the 8ts version or even the 9ts Broadway version
Terible Teri the Broadway version is shit, the worst version that's been done of chess, really, the changes they did, god
And there weren't even good singers
don't think so. I think it was a row of spotlights, if you notice it is the same color as the lights on her in the solo here
At about 6:40 you can see the teleprompter on the left of screen, but the music is not simple. They must know it well just to stay with the score.
@@adamrobinson8620 That's a monitor of the conductor so they can follow the beat,
Oh my days....She is glorious.
Idina is good... But Judy Kuhn is the master... sorry :)
Honestly, the best Florence I've ever seen was Jodi Benson in 1991 at Long Beach Civic Light Orchestra. Look up clips on YT and tell me she doesn't blow you away. She went on to do Arielle in The Little Mermaid (the movie), but her Florence is just stunning.
Elaine Paige beats all the other Florences imo
So much do I agree!
So much!
Go away, just get out.
I wish I hadn't attended late 1980s version (which was just perfect)! Later versions just ruined it!
Bastards!!
Woah woah woah hold up at 6:50 ish is that a tele prompter at the front of the stage??? That's just cheating.
It's a monitor of the conductor so they can follow the beat of the music.
