CHESS

Good point! I fail to understand the huge fuss these people are making over Chess. It was a recording that was quite successful. Because of this every man and his dog thought it would work on stage as well. Despite this, and umpteen attempts at rewriting the book in UK, USA and Europe, it has never been a commercial success on stage anywhere. Let's stick to musicals that are proven winners, there are enough of those around to keep us all happy! One or two good songs on an album aren't enough to sustain a quailty evening of theatre.

Sorry to deflate those who worship this show!
