Note about yesterday's Chess conversation....
I was reading the Playbill from the Aida tour (I always read the thing cover to cover). In the Who's Who of the cast it gives you know their blurb. I don't know how updated Elton's and the rest of the creators blurbs are, but this is what is said under Tim Rice's:
"He is currently working on operatic musical he has written with Alan Menken, and on new treatments, for both stage and screen, of
Chess, the
New York Times bloke having been replaced."
Now I don't exactly understand what the last part meant, but my eyes lit up when I read that about Chess. But like I said, this may either be old news or something, but I copied it word for word from the playbill.
BroadwayBoobs: I'll give all of you who weren't there a hint of who took the pictures ...it rhymes with shameless
SOMMS: I knew it was Tink!
