This musical is such the rock opera and Tim's lyrics are stunning. I also really love Judy Kuhn, actually just finished listening to Pity The Child so please add me.

I think that is the only song that sounds Abba-esque in the whole show to me. What about you?

I think you are right. The rest just don't have the same tone.

My next favorite is Heaven Help My Heart. Judy Kuhn owns that song.

It's a good song. She's got great range. I didn't listen to Chess until years after I knew her voice as the animated singing voice of Disney's Pocahontas . My favorites are Nobody's Side and I Know Him So Well.

I actually happened upon Chess by accident. One of the VPs of my company came in my office and heard a random playlist of showtunes and asked if I liked Chess. And I told him I hadn't heard it. And the very next day his copy was on my desk. Cassette tape.

Really? That's kinda cool. Alot of people don't know it because it's not particularly new, it did better in Europe than in America and no on has even talked about adapting it to film so it lost word of mouth.

He is a bit older, and loves to come and sit and talk with me about the classic musicals. I didn't even have a cassette player to play it on. But it obviously meant a lot to him to give it to me, so I made it work.

That's really cool. And it's nice of you to go search out something to play it on. I was initially put off by the subject matter because I couldn't figure out how something like that would work within the constraints of a musical, but I was super wrong.

I'd heard a few of the songs through one of my friends and that's what first got me into Chess. It's so easy to get hooked

Yeah, the songs really stick with you. Plus I do have special love for musicals that are powerfully fantastic that did crappy business over here in the U.S.
