Not a well kept secret. Fun that it will be in the same theatre as the original. Kicking myself that I missed it way back when.

I love this photo on the Playbill article.  Nicolas Christopher looks so happy to be there.

I love how I might actually be able to see this. 

I'm heading back to the city the week of Halloween and have a few shows lined up, this might be the spot that takes cabaret's spot since that's closing. #thisissomehowyourfaulteddieredmayne

I have no clue about the material but I just got a bonus at work so i might be able to splurge on this :)

It's good to finally have all the details.

So Chess is back where it began in 1988 and Lea is back where she made her Broadway debut in Les Miz in 1995.

Opening less than 2 weeks before Thanksgiving seems smart, timed to pick up all those holiday crowds from Thanksgiving to New Year.

was praying that when they said this was coming in the fall it would be in October. Previews start the week before I planned to be back east so I can see it.

it was really amusing watching all the red carpet interviews and photos of the three of them as it was obvious Lea & Aaron had done a gazillion red carpets but it was all new to Nicholas to be the focus of all that attention and how much he was enjoying it. He better get used to it as I think he is going to be a big star after this from what I have heard about his performances in Jelly's Last Jam and Sweeney Todd.
