Chess the Musical Tonight! 2/7/09

Chess the Musical is in its final night, performing at the Armory Free Theater in Champaign at 7:30pm!

I will be there to check it out and give a full review. It is based on Chess players during the Cold War and has ABBA influences.


Best of all it's free!

Don't be late as I learned last fall that they close their doors on time.

Hope to see you there!
