Want to see who grew up to play chess, then
Before Lea Michele was a bona fide Broadway star, she got her start in Les Misérables almost 30 years ago. Someone took a photograph of her during her debut week, and little did she know it was a premonition of her future.
She wrote: “1996, backstage at the Imperial Theatre—my Broadway debut as Young Cosette in Les Misérables. Now, nearly 30 years later, I’m returning to that very same stage for my sixth Broadway show: Chess.
“And would you believe the Chess Playbill sitting behind me in this photo? Even then, it was waiting for me.
“This moment isn’t just about doing another show. It’s a homecoming. A celebration of the long, winding, extraordinary journey that’s brought me back to where it all began. See you in the Fall.”
If you want to see her in Chess on Broadway, you can purchase tickets starting tomorrow.
