5/5 Chess is the Best
  by Gary Berreth
Love the Musice, was a fan from the first day it came out on the market. This Chess in Concert is the best if you can not see it in person.

5/5 Fantastic Musical
  by B. S. Bygrave
I originally saw this musical when it was played on TV and absolutely fell in love with it!! It's a fabulous story of two chess players, the American and the Russian, at the chess world championship back in the days of soviet Russia. The story takes place over two years and ultimately two chess championships. The story greatly involves the personal lives of the characters which makes them who they are. Worth every penny!!!

5/5 Chess in Concert with Josh Groban is great.

I just loved this production. To see wonderful performers in the roles. A full symphony and large choir made for lush, but totally understandable sining. Just great.

5/5 Enigmas on a chess board in sweet voice
  by T. W. Donnelly (Canton, MI USA)
This masterpiece is a true gift to the serious music lover.There is always a flurry of excitement in world chess tournaments: singular genius on each side, international politics and intrigue, personal life choices away from the chess board that consume each player and the audience as well. Josh Groban plays the Russian chess master in a strong and sweet voice. The musical score plays nicely with the choreography,illuminating life and death choices with each move on the board.
One sees a variety of enigmas from which there appears to be no extraction, and these are truly heart-provoking and gripping. Music is emotion that must come out to the world from the depth of the singer's soul.
So, we enjoy fine vocal performances that whet our political instincts and take us into our own emotional world of choices we make. I was very moved by this presentation at each viewing. I hope that the reader can reach that same state of emotional engagement and enjoyment.

5/5 I heart chess....
  by B. Jensen (Grand Forks, ND)
This is a great DVD for any fans of the musical or the stars who are involved with the project. Wish there were more special features (just has a trailer of the show), but it is nice to get to watch the show performed! If you bought the CD (which I highly recommend as well, the 2-disc version ROCKS!) this video will make the plot MUCH more clear if you haven't seen the show before. Believe it or not, the 2 disc CD does leave out some of the audio, and a bit of conversation as well. Some things you just have to see for yourself...
