Lea Michele Is Leaving Chess on Broadway
But it’s not game over yet!
Checkmate! Lea Michele is exiting the game as Florence in Chess on June 21, the date that was supposed to close the show, but the production has made another move by extending its run. Keep your eyes peeled for further details on dates and tickets!
The first-ever Broadway revival of Chess feels long overdue. We've revelled in Cold War politics, a high-stakes chess tournament, and a love triangle where no one really plays fair - hearts definitely get gambled... to the tunes of Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus of ABBA. Dare we ask for more?

Our favourite Lea Michele moments
Rachel Berry Singing Celine
It's all coming back to us now, how incredible this performance was! Celine Dion would definitely improve.
Somewhere with Idina Menzel
The character of Rachel Berry did many duos with her on stage birth mom, played by queen of Broadway Menzel - but in this one, the mother and daughter vibes are extra emotional.
Her run in Funny Girl
Only a maestro of the stage could do Fanny Brice justice - and in a comeback that could've gone either way, Lea Michele commanded the character with ease, with The New York Times calling her performance "a thrilling, star-is-born turn that restores the show's beating heart."
