Thursday Theatre Throwback: Julia Murney & Sutton Foster "I Know Him So Well" From CHESS

Pretty close to perfect here.

The late 80s musical CHESS, about the game itself and geo-political gamesmanship, had an excellent Actors Fund concert redux back in 2003 starring Julia Murney, Josh Groban, Tony Award winner Sutton Foster, Norm Lewis and Adam Pascal.

This duet of "I Know Him So Well" with Murney and Foster requires hitting "repeat" several times, it's so good.

Love the score, and I'm a big fan of the ladies here.

I actually got to see this short lived production.

Great voices and great score. The staging failed a bit, but the show had some thrilling moments.
