“Chess,” Concert on PBS
I was so thrilled to see the stars who were in this concert on PBS last night. Menzel looked absolutely fabulous in her all - black first act outfit and in the second act, she wore this fabulous dress I wanted to steal. The voices were beautiful, no doubt. Adam looked hot as usual, so that was nice to drool over for a bit. The dancers had great technique and it was fun to see how they utilized the dancers for this concert.
I learned that “Chess” is not a great musical. The music may have some great moments, but it gets quickly monotonous because the story line is not interesting. In my opinion, the show was just about people competing in the high ranks of chess. There was drama behind the scenes, but I didn’t catch on because I kept spacing out. I wasn’t doing it on purpose. I just was not captivated by anything in particular that would keep me drawn in for the 2 - 3 hour saga. Yes, I do not know the complete run time of the show because I was not able to finish watching it. It was boring, sorry.
I do think it is important to be exposed to a lot of shows especially since I am in the business, but dude, this one couldn’t keep me awake. Once again, sorry.
