Re: Chess - New UK Tour 2010 I was sure I had sent a post about this, but seems I haven't! Saw the new production a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed it. It is very much like I thought it might be (and explained in "Would an Actor/Musician production of Chess work? thread.) The performances are amazing - fantastic voices from everybody. The staging is exciting and imaginative and the actor / musician concept works really well. The music sounds brilliant, and beautifully orchestrated, so basically I loved it. It's very much the London script with a few of the new lines / words from the RAH Concert version. This is the first time I have seen a production that has any of the excitement and style that was a big part of the London production. A must see for anybody who loves Chess, BUT also for anybody who enjoys seeing a stage filled with an amazingly talented company. Go see if you can - you'll love the experience.

Re: Chess - New UK Tour 2010 Are they not using the concert script? I thought that version was supposed to become the "standard" licensed version of the show around the world? Is that no longer the plan?

Re: Chess - New UK Tour 2010 I wouldn't mind seeing a review from you, mate. Doesn't need to be particularly detailed; just a brief summary of what to expect would suffice.

Re: Chess - New UK Tour 2010 I would love a review! I am seeing it in Woking in February! Can't wait! But I do wonder, is the Arbiter really as flat as he is in the trailer?

Re: Chess - New UK Tour 2010 Woking in Surrey, England? Ah, then you'll be around my neck of the woods.

Re: Chess - New UK Tour 2010 What do you think is awful about it? The direction seems great, and the concept is brilliant.
