Highlights
from
CHESS
In Concert
This
convoluted
tale
set
during
the
Cold
War
and
world
chess
tournaments
(crossing
over
from
the
'70s
to the
'80s)
was
written
by the
celebrated
Tim
Rice
with
music
by the
Abba
boys
(Benny
&
Bjorn),
and
spawned
a couple
of hit
singles.
But
the
Broadway
show
was
an apparent
admitted
disaster.
Across
the
decades
many
versions
of the
show
has
seen
the
light
around
the
globe
(including
a South
African
version).
The
quality
of the
songs
however
has
kept
the
interest
there
and
a new
rendition
was
resurrected
with
the
fantastic
voices
of Josh
Groban,
Idina
Menzel,
Adam
Pascal
and
Marti
Pellow
attached.
Recorded
at the
Royal
Albert
Hall
with
the
London
Philharmonic
Orchestra,
this
breathes
new
life
into
the
show
that
could've
been
more
than
it became.
