CHESS IN CONCERT at the macrobert

The macrobert cinema will be showing CHESS IN CONCERT on the 5th and 6th of September - would anyone like to come along with me to see it?

Okay, some background. This was a concert recorded at the Royal Albert Hall to mark Chess' 25th Anniversary. With stars like Josh Groban, Idina Menzel and Adam Pascal, the concert was a sell-out for each of the two nights that it ran.

The concert will be released on DVD, but will be shown at a select few cinemas nationwide before its UK release. The macrobert will be the first.

I am hoping to go to the concert on 5th September at 2015. Ticket prices are just £4.95. Anyone interested in coming along with me?

If you're interested, please let me know at http://www.sabos.co.uk/contact/index.php

If you don't know the show, it is one of the most exciting and powerful musicals of the 1980s. Written by Time Rice, Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaues (the two men from Abba) it combines a wide range of musical styles, to tell a love story that is set against the background of international politics.

Please let me know if you want to come along. (If you mail me during the week of 8-16 Aug I won't immediately reply; I'm at the ROSS summer school - I'll be in touch when I get back from it)
