Hi RJS! Just wanted to let you know I finally tracked down the full video from this amazing performance, as well as videos for the Irish, New Zealand, Belgian, Dutch and early German productions (2001-2002)!

[@RJSCreativeAdventures]

That's amazing. I'd love to see the full Korean one sometime.

You mean the bootleg? Or (*le gasp*) a newly-surfaced proshot video??? :D

This is fantastic - is there anything from Act 2 yet? In my ideal version of Chess, Florence and Svetlana wouldn't meet during "I Know Him So Well" - they'd still be singing together but just not with each other. I've seen and heard probably 25-30 versions of Chess (regional, national, international, amateur, etc) and this is really up there! Thank you for posting this!

Sorry nothing from Act 2 - really wish there was. Would LOVED to have seen this production.

@@RJSCreativeAdventures Gotcha. I touched base with some friends in the community over in Korea, and will see if they can dig up anything! Do you happen to have copies of either the Signature Theatre performance of Chess (back in maybe 2010, with Jill Plaice), or the Pioneer Theatre version (maybe 2016?). I've heard audio copies of both of those shows and they're both amazing. My favorite production is the Long Beach ELO 1990 (with Jodi Benson and Robert Yacko), but the Signature Theatre version comes so close - Jill Plaice kills it as Florence there (though no-one sings Florence like Jodi Benson)! :-)

This is a really cool staging!

[@valerieann9637]

beautifully designed!

Fantastic production! Too bad it’s based on the lame Broadway plot. I would have loved it to be based on the original West End plot which makes so much more sense! But I still enjoyed it, thank you for sharing.
