A great idea, really. The show needs more women, anyway.

@tray2022 they're performing the revised lyrics. Here, the Arbiter scene comes before the first chess match. In the original album (Broadway version) it's at the beginning of the second act, which calls for some lyric changes.

I've just found this video and I am appalled at peoples comments! A female arbiter is not a problem, there is nothing in the script that says it has to be a man, he can be changed to she! The vocals aren't bad I just have a feeling she is mezzo sop (I may be wrong) meaning the song is difficult to sing in her lower register. The choreography was good a few to many lifts but still! The only problem with this is the sound team and the ensemble could be tighter vocally.
Well Done!

What are the lyrics for the second verse? I couldn't quite make them out, but they were different from the album...
-
it was kinda slow but i think it was a nice twist with a girl but it makes the reprais kinda akwerd
-
female? fair enough, good twist actually... i dont mind it... was not expecting it.
-
The Arbiter WAS in the Broadway production...just not included on the RCA Broadway Album.
-
They do. All songs are included, Arbiter aswell.

rubbish singing
the choreography is interesting...a little out of place, The Arbiter isn't strong enough...
