Checkmate
Am I alone in thinking that the refrain from Florence Quits in the first act, reprised in The Deal [No Deal] in the second act, is actually the single best piece of music in Chess? I mean, don't misunderstand me, the entire musical is audio gold, but that particular refrain seems so powerful, yet so underused.
Who'd ever think it,
Such a squalid little ending?
Watching you descending,
Just as low as you can go!
I'm learning
Things I didn't want to know!
Who'd ever guess that
This would be the situation?
One more complication
Should be neither here nor there!
I wish I
Had it in me not to care~
