Review: CHESS at LANCASTER OPERA HOUSE
by Michael Rabice - Mar 31, 2025
Every now and then there is a musical that is near universally loved for it score, treasured by cast recording collectors, and infamous to many, BUT is rarely ever produced. Most were failures soon after theirs debuts. My personal desert island treasured flop from that category is Jerry Herman's DEAR WORLD. For others it was Stephen Sondheim's MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG ( considered a flop for almost 40 years, but now a triumph). Which brings us to the rarely produced, but often recorded musical CHESS, now being presented at the Lancaster Opera House.
