See it if You want to see a great show and support local theater!
Don't see it if Three hours us too long for you or you need more staging

Don't see it if The storyline is problematic, and this show specifically would benefit from more elaborate staging. Read more
See it if You like the not-often-produced musical Chess and want to see it any venue. You like the 80s and find US/Russia relations interesting.
Don't see it if You don't want to travel to Brooklyn for theater. You want superior production quality.
See it if you’re new to Chess and can appreciate a good musical in an imperfect production and small venue
Don't see it if you want to see the ideal version of this musical; are really uncomfortable w/ sympathetic infidelity, Bankok curiously devoid of Asians Read more
See it if You don't mind seeing Chess with a Florence who can't really sing (but did a great job with the acting)
Don't see it if You can't sit through a three-hour musical about backstabbing and politics. I was riveted, but it's not for everyone. Read more
See it if great community theater. brought back memories of a production at Equity Lib. theater. great lighting. huge cast wide range of talent
Don't see it if relationships between the 3 leads not clearly there. at times music outplayed the singers. overall worth the trek. just about three hours
