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

Dude. DUDE. You know Chess?!!

[mithrandir2k]

It's possibly my favourite musical of all time.

[theminxiekitten]

You know it's on tour atm, right? It's hitting The Mayflower in Southampton in a couple of weeks. I'm hoping to go see it, if I'm lucky! ^_^

[mithrandir2k]

Woot! Fingers crossed, hun!

[theminxiekitten]

You know you're welcome to come visit and come too? Otherwise I might have to be the saddo who goes on her own xD

[mithrandir2k]

This is an intriguing prospect worthy of further consideration!

[theminxiekitten]

Oh hellyeah! *dances*

[mithrandir2k]

And pick up your phone! xD

[theminxiekitten]

Sorry *lol* It's somewhere in my bag - I'm watching NCIS with my guest *lol*

[mithrandir2k]

NCIS FTW. Abby <3

[theminxiekitten]

Dude yes ^_^ I'm utterly in love with it. It's along the same lines as CSI: NY- it's a bit silly and cheesy, but the actors are having a great time and work well with each other.

It's the silly and cheese that I like about it - it's definitely carried by the character interactions more than the story writing, but I still enjoy it seven years on. And it's set in the JAG storyverse, which is kinda cool.

[theminxiekitten]

*nod* I agree wholeheartedly- it's pretty average for plotline, but the interaction between the characters makes it fantabulous ^_^

On to Who now- Kathy's never seen it yet. Good ol' America!

[mithrandir2k]

Real Who? Or New Who?

[theminxiekitten]

There is nothing wrong with New Who :p

And, for now it's New Who; I lose her tomorrow (*sadface*) so I'm introducing her to the latest series. The first one so far- I wanted her to meet Doctor Nine (and Captain Jack, o' course)

[mithrandir2k]

I'll let you have "There is nothing wrong with New Who so long as RTD isn't scripting the episode" ;) And sorry to hear she's going home, hun - sounds like you've had a great time :)
