Was This Review Helpful? Yes No The London stage version, updated
This is the original London stage version, dialogue included. A magnificent production, lavishly presented. The performers and the audience are all having a great time. Check out "Press Conference" and "Soviet Machine," two great songs that didn't appear on the original album.

Starring multiplatinum artist Josh Groban, Tony-winning Idina Menzel
(Wicked) and Tony nominated Adam Pascal (RENT), Chess In Concert
revives the eclectic yet wonderfully pop 1984 concept album featuring the
music of ABBA’s Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson and lyrics of Tim Rice (Jesus Christ Superstar, The Lion King, Evita).

The emblematic 1960s musical was revived for Broadway in 2009, and this cast recording, co-produced by composer Galt McDermott, showcases both the strength of the original material and the excellence of the '09 cast. Where some of the lyrics may sound charmingly archaic, most of it holds up well, and the music has been given an au courant gloss--funkified in some places ("Aquarius," "Colored Spade," "Hair") and smoothed over in others ("Good Morning Starshine," "What a Piece of Work is Man").

With lyrics by Tim Rice, the 1984 "concept" album CHESS represented ABBA's Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson's first foray into Andrew Lloyd Webber theatrical territory way before MAMMA MIA. It never quite accomplished its larger goal although the 1986 live production did enjoy a three-year run on London's West End (doing less well in the States) and has had its devotees over the years. Which helps explain this 2009 revival featuring such luminaries as adult contemporary vocalist Josh Groban, Tony winner Idina Menzel (WICKED), and the Tony-nominated Adam Pascal (RENT). The special concert performance was recorded at the Royal Albert Hall in 2008 and boasts the City of London Philharmonic as well as a large 100-voice chorus. There is also a video that was shown on PBS's GREAT PERFORMANCES.
It might be argued that lyricist/librettist Tim Rice does not so much collaborate with composers as compete with them. His early successes with Andrew Lloyd Webber, notably JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR and EVITA, were content-heavy efforts with often wordy songs and complicated characters, and Lloyd Webber fled to the relative simplicity of practically libretto-free shows about cats and train engines, never again granting a lyricist co-billing with him. Rice had another set of complicated ideas for CHESS, on which he worked with Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, late of ABBA, setting two interlocking romantic triangles against ...
