chess the musical is like the theatre version of ‘i can fix him’. the show is nearly 40 years old. every single production seems to fundamentally misunderstand it in some way. yet somehow every single chess enjoyer listens to it once and becomes convinced that if you were allowed to stage chess the musical your version would actually be the Best and Most Correct and you actually understand it better than anyone else who’s staged it before

These Questions are the result of suggestions from the previous iteration.

This category may include suggestions made too late to fall into the correct grouping.

Please add new suggestions below if you have them for future consideration.

*The Broadway Premiere names were lost over a year ago because I didn't realize how big this was until I'd spent several hours on first day telemetry for the very first Time travel poll.

Please Feel Free to share ones you want to see for future polls.

J'aime beaucoup acheter des places de théâtre/concert archi en avance parce que clairement, quand j'y vais l'année suivante, c'est gratuit

It seems we need to have a little chat about theater etiquette, especially concerning "notes"

You do not say a singular bad word about the show until you are in the car on your way home in private. If you're taking public transportation, not until you get home. Not a word.

I wrote little notes (a thing i do as a form of my appreciation for the arts to ensure i keep my full attention on the show and dont zone out. I rarely share them with anyone) during an intermission for a show I saw with my friend at this really small playhouse and he leaned over and read (very loudly) "why did you put *something critical about the opening number*" like DUDE THAT ACTOR'S MOM COULD BE SITTING IN FRONT OF YOU??? DON'T SAY SHIT WHEN YOU DONT KNOW WHOS GONNA HEAR IT

Even if the people around you don't know the cast/crew personally, they could have really enjoyed it. Say you thought an actor was pitchy and you said that out loud during intermission or after the show (God forbid you say it during the show) and the person next to you thought it was incredible. You're now diminishing that person's experience and making them feel stupid for thinking it was good. Their whole night at the show is now devalued because you said something bad and changed their perspective.

And these same people are going to be out in the lobby, by the doors, in the parking lot, taking the same bus as you, walking part of your route, going to the same restaurant... hold your tongue until you're somewhere completely private. It's just respectful.

ok this is an ongoing debate among my dear friends and loved ones that has turned into a full blown argument bc my girlfriend likes to bully me for getting too pedantic in my media criticisms lmao. so I'm posing it to tumblr

I'll reblog with my argument on why it is not, strictly speaking, a traditional musical (this is not a bad thing my god!! I'm not trying to take away its outer critics circle award for outstanding new broadway musical). I just want to know if this is as hot of a take as my immediate circle is making it out to be lol
