Customer Reviews: Avg. Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 CHESS in concert:
Chess in concert: a gift for the wife of someone who is the chess nerd. He liked it better than she. He had suggested it as a gift for her since Josh Groban is one of the artists. Enjoyable, but has it's issues: I originally ordered the DVD of this off of Netflix, mainly I admit because of Kerry Ellis, who actually kept me watching the whole show because I just kept waiting for her to finally show up. Surprisingly for me, I actually began to enjoy the rest of the show and the voices of Josh Groban and Adam Pascal. I was happy to see that Kerry Ellis did not disappoint in her performance, and I actually watched the DVD again to get more of the idea of the show and enjoy the other actors and characters and grew to... Disappointing: I guess I'm just stuck back in the 80s, but I still prefer the original to this one. I don't like most of the changes that have been made. I love Josh Groban, but he just wasn't convincing in this role. Idina Menzel is atrocious. Her screeching may be fine for a wicked witch but didn't work for a smart, sophisticated romantic role.
