awesomeness!
I ordered Chess and my mom was all, "are you serious? It's called CHESS" and I was like, "Mother, Idina Menzel is in it, I am getting that DVD." so of course, I did. And it took amazon forever to ship it and then I finally got it and I watched and it was awesomeness, although I don't think my nine year old sister should have watched it with me, because she keeps wanting to play the part where Florence is talking to Molokov and says, "I was only five when you bastards...etc." and the song, "Florence Quits" and the part when Adam sings, "Where's daddy? Dead or in the KGB?" and it's really weird that she loves those parts so much. I asked her why she liked the part with Idina talking to Molokov and she said, "I just like they way she says it." and I was like, "ok..." yeah, but anyway, it was awesome!

Chess! Wow!
Chess was simply amazing! It was on PBS here (Indianapolis) on June 17th from 1:00 - 3:30 a.m. I actually stayed up and watched the whole thing! How could I not? I've waited so long to see it. I loved it! Ironically, I saw Wicked that same night, and then I came home and got to see Chess! Wicked is here in Indianapolis right now. That was one great evening!

Idina, you're simply amazing!
A great performance indeed! Idina in hi-def and stunning 7.1 surround sound... nothing could be better. The close-ups were terrific!

Forgot to mention...
I loved Idina's little laugh in "Mountain Duet". Also in "Endgame", I noticed it was in that scene where Idina said she got lost backstage and was late in getting onstage. You can hear her singing for around 5 secs. before she hurriedly appears on stage right. ;-)

Southern California - Charter TV
Check this website - http://www.pbs.org/wnet/gperf/schedule/
Input your local settings. Chess is on KLRN today 6/17 @ 6:00 PM. There are other showtimes for the next couple of days but it's not primetime. Unfortunately, Chess is not on KCET nor KOCE.

I just checked my TVGuide to
I just checked my TVGuide to make sure Chess was still on for the 17th at 8, and for those of you who can't find it on your tvguide-its their-its just listed under "Great Performances" not "Chess". I live in the US so idk what it would be called in like the UK or something but thats just the way it is on TVGuide.

Does Anyone Know About The UK . . . ??
No offence, but I find it slightly insulting that it should be aired in the US, before the UK despite everything being done at the Royal Albert Hall which is, after all, in LONDON! So does anyone know whether it will be on the TV in this country, or is it only available for DVD?!

I definitely agree over
I definitely agree over these last few years, a lot of health conscious families and individuals have been searching for alternative routes for more nutritious diets. I live in San Francisco area, although the economy is not as Oyun portalı robust as before, but when I go to farmers markets, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, there are still a good amount of people shopping there all the time.
