“Chess” is one ny favorite musicals. Regarding Murray Head, I think his performance as Judas set the standard for the role. The original British concept album is excellent.
I know!
I love it!
In high school, I took a class called “Music, stage and screen” and JCS was one of the ones that really hit me.
First we got stuck with stuff like The Wizard Of Oz and Oklahoma but then the teacher split to have a baby and the school band director took over and we got “Tommy”, JCS and other rock operas.
He had us listen to JCS in the dark.
It was incredible.
