There's a line in The Drowsy Chaperone about someone who loved theatre, and this one scene in particular with a Spanish guy who was "The King of Romance," was her favorite, perhaps because of her fantasy to be swept off her feet by a Latino lover.
I tooootally forgot a lot of the things I wanted to say. When I write for school, I bring a pen and paper with me, but I didn't tonight; this was strictly for fun.
I hate it when that happens! I always think, "Ooh, I need to remember this to be able to tell about it," and then end up forgetting. But as you said, it's just for fun.
I'm sorry, gg. I can't help you, though - I don't even have any Chess recordings. :/
This might cheer you up, though...I don't want to post a link, for obvious reasons, but go to the-site-that-is-not-to-be-named (yo*t*be.com) and search for "Raul Esparza Petrified."
I still never figured out the significance of the colored lighting in some scenes, if there was any. I would think that it was symbollic, though, given the rest of the sets and lighting.
