SINGLE-DISC CD ON JUNE 16TH
JOSH GROBAN AND IDINA MENZEL STAR IN A PBS GREAT PERFORMANCES SPECIAL
OF THE REVIVAL OF BRITISH MUSICAL CHESS ON JUNE 17TH
May 29, 2009, Burbank, CA — PBS’s Great Performances will air the
spectacular London concert revival of Benny Andersson and Björn
Ulvaeus’ 1986 cult musical Chess, featuring Reprise Records’ Josh
Groban and Idina Menzel as Chess in Concert on Wednesday, June 17th at
9 p.m. ET (check local listings).
Reprise Records will release Chess in Concert as a two-CD set, a
single audio CD, and as a stand-alone DVD to retail beginning June
16th, 2009. In addition, a three-disc Special Edition, which includes
the two-CD set plus the DVD, will be available exclusively through
Groban’s official website www.joshgroban.com, his official fanclub
website www.friendsofjoshgroban.com, and Menzel’s official website:
www.idinamenzel.com. This limited-edition version includes music and
video from the performance, a full-color booklet with cast photos and
a synopsis by composer Tim Rice, sheet music for “Anthem” and “I Know
Him So Well,” plus an MP3 download of the two-CD audio content to be
delivered on June 16th.
Groban and Menzel led the cast in this very special 21st anniversary
performance of the British cult musical at London’s Royal Albert Hall
in May 2008. The book and lyrics are by Tim Rice (Jesus Christ
Superstar, Evita, The Lion King) and the music is by ABBA’s Björn
Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson (Mamma Mia!). Also featured are the West
End Chorus and the City of London Philharmonic with Stephen Disley
playing the great organ of the Royal Albert Hall.
