I hear there is a concert version to be coming. Maybe they will record the whole show like they did DREAMGIARLS. I would love another version of the show. (As I already have too many but still cannot get enough of the show)

The Actor's Fund website includes cast list and ticket info.
Tix are very pricey, but the cast list is great. Wish I could afford to go.

the original London version of Chess never got a fair chance on Broadway. I think this was far superior to the altered US version and should be given an unedited chance here in the states.

Some very memorable songs from this musical --

Anthem
You and I
I Know Him So Well
One Night in Bangkok
Pity the Child

The theme may be a little dated but the music is still wonderful to listen to.

I hope that they will retain the song "Someone Else's Story". It's the only part of the U.S. version that I like.
