In 2010, a new version of "Chess The Musical" began touring the United Kingdom. The Toronto Star's theatre critic, Richard Ouzounian, happened to be over there, and wrote a great review: 'Chess problem is solved at last' (2010.10.17, p.E4). He concluded by recommending that the show come to Toronto. Well, Mirvish Productions must have been reading his column - they've done it!
"Chess The Musical" will run during Sept.-Oct., 2011 at the Princess of Wales Theatre, Toronto:

I've asked them for a few complimentary tickets in exchange for helping to promote the show in the chess community. (I don't know if we'll get them.) Anyway, I think it would be a great event to take in - and good for the chess community to show its support for such an attention getter for chess!
Mirvish Productions Group Sales offers a big discount on regular prices. Do you think you will attend a show? Would your Chess Club be interested to go together? Would you give up a chess night to do that?! Please post here with your thoughts.
Thanks,
David
