Sunday 9 November 2014

T'was the night before production week...

... when all across the city, the sound of 'Chess-the Musical', was heard in full rehearsal.  

That's right it is 8 days till opening night! Here's a little update and a taste of what is in store on the 18th November!


  • The University campus has been hit heavily by a storm of Chess publicity, with posters and flyers bursting from every gap:


  • The Band has been meeting to rehearse the challenging numbers that the show contains, and the cast are very much looking forward to the first time they practice with them. Not long now I promise! 


  • We spent a sunny Saturday morning filming for our second promo video so look out for it's release. If you missed our first, check it out here:





  • We had our headshots taken ready to be inserted into the programme: 






















So the stage is set...well nearly, it has yet to be built... but all preparations are in place! The Cast will be working their socks off this week perfecting that particular kick, head movement or harmony, while the technical and stage team don their steel capped boots ready to rig the lights, assemble the stage and source that final prop. 

We hope you are as excited as we are!
