    why CHESS is closing early on Broadway | the reason the revival will end when Lea Michele leaves

    In breaking Broadway news, it was just announced that the current revival of CHESS at the Imperial Theatre will end its run earlier than planned, on June 21st. The musical, first seen on stage in the 1980s, depicts a chess-centred love triangle in the midst of cold war tensions, written by Benny Anderson, Björn Ulvaeus, and Sir Tim Rice. This new production, with a rewritten book by Danny Strong, stars Lea Michele (Funny Girl), Nicholas Christopher (Sweeney Todd), and Aaron Tveit (Moulin Rouge! the Musical) as well as Bryce Pinkham and Hannah Cruz. The show will now end with the departure of leading lady Lea Michele, but that's just one of the factors to consider when we answer the question: why is Chess closing early...? • 00:00 | introduction 03:08 | closing details 13:08 | the reasons why 21:16 | what comes next? 26:37 | conclusion About Mickey-Jo: As one of the leading voices in theatre criticism on a social platform, Mickey-Jo is pioneering a new medium for a dwindling field.

    why Kim Kardashian is a Broadway Producer now | the reasons behind theatre's new celebrity producers

    An emerging trend on Broadway over the last few years has been the substantial arrival of celebrity co-producers - influential figures, entertainment stars and beloved personalities who use their platforms, connections and reputation to help bolster a newly opened show's credibility. This is under particular scrutiny this season, with the likes of Michelle and Barrack Obama, Neil Patrick Harris, Bowen Yang, Matt Rogers, and Cynthia Erivo being joined as producers of new shows by Kim Kardashian. Kardashian has joined the producing team of The Fear of 13 in her capacity as a criminal justice reform advocate, and in doing so has sparked the conversation Mickey-Jo is eager to have today - why are there so many celebrities producing on Broadway, what do they actually have to do, what are the benefits of this to the shows, and does Mickey-Jo foresee any problems as this practice gains popularity? check out Mickey-Jo's brand new substack newsletter: www.mickeyjotheatre.substack.com • 00:00 | introduction 03:16 | how does it work? 13:28 | the mutual benefits 22:36 | will there be problems?
