1999 - Chess

Like the previous summer's productions of Grease and Little Shop of Horrors, part of the purpose of Chess was to give some new people a chance to direct, musically direct and sing principal parts. Not only that but it was an opportunity to attract some new members, and give ourselves a bit of a change by doing a non-G&S show, and generally let our hair down at the end of the year.

Here are some links to a few Chess related web sites.

Many feature useful things like lyrics from the show and MIDI files of some songs.
Chess Pieces - very flashy, but also informative
Christian Shadlock's Chess Page
Glen Gower's Chess Page
A Chess Index by someone called Jamie - full lyrics from the albums of the London and Braodway versions of the musical
Another Chess Page - again looks flashy, and has a handy 50-ways-of-spotting-if-you're-a-Chess-nut Guide
