Back to the CHESS Board

Samantha Pollino made her Florence debut this past weekend in CHESS! After a two show Saturday and Jill seeing the show on Sunday, we spent this episode recapping and highlighting some favorite moments of the show and what each Florence portrayal brings to the show.

In a recent interview, Aaron Tveit acknowledged his nickname of being Teary Tveit- so this week's episode highlights some memorable teary Tveit moments from various show and concerts through the years.

We have made it to the end of 2025! There's no better way to wrap up the year than to talk about some highlights of Aaron's career throughout the year! He has had some range this year and it has been incredible to see him perform in different venues and push himself. 2025 was a year to remember....and here is to 2026 and all that it may have in store!

In keeping with the theme of Thanksgiving and celebrating what we are thankful for, Jill and I share our top Aaron performances that we are thankful that there is footage of. From the OG Moulin Rouge Opt Up to recent concerts. The lists could have gone on and on, but we tried to reign it in. Happy Thanksgiving.

That's right! More CHESS! CHESS is officially open on Broadway and it was an incredible experience to be back at the board on Tuesday night to see the show in it's official form! This week's episode talks about opening night, reviews, and of course, the incredible vocals and acting happening inside the Imperial Theatre.

This past weekend was spent back at the CHESS board in the Imperial Theatre. The show has evolved so much since the first preview. And now they're just over one week away from officially opening! My friend Martha and I recap our experiences at CHESS this weekend already anticipate the next time we can get back!

The games have begun! CHESS is back on Broadway at the Imperial Theatre and it was an incredible experience to be a part of the shows' first preview! This episode recaps the night and the show and just shares my thoughts as someone who went into the show itself pretty blind in terms of the storyline etc. But I have not stopped thinking about the show since I left the theater and i am counting down the days until I can go back!

On September 12, 2025, Aaron Tveit performed at the Mayo Performing Arts Center and it was a concert and night to remember for the audience and the budding musical theater students who had the chance to join Aaron on stage.

Let's be honest, we all have a list of Aaron Tveit songs that we turn to for comfort or those moments to feel all the feels. Today's episode shares mine.

It was an exciting weekend in Shippensburg, PA- Aaron performed an incredible concert with the Shippensburg Festival Symphony Orchestra. This was my first time getting to see him perform with an orchestra and it did not disappoint. Aaron's voice is absolutely insane on any given day, but when paired with an orchestra it is another level! This week's episode highlights some key moments from the night.
