  • Every time he opens his mouth and sings, I get goosebumps. He has one of those voices that you rarely come across in todays industry. It's like listening to gold. I don't know how to describe it.

  • Josh's performance of Anthem (and really all the way through) was completely made of epic win.

    As soon as I saw this existed I went and bought the DVD and CD straight away...

  • @VolleyballQueen2016 It's a musical about two chess players, one American and one Russian, taking place during the Cold War. It's got a lot of great songs in it. :)

  • Great talent!! ... There are some amazing artists, still unknown, just waiting to be discovered. Please visit my channel to discover one of these... an artist I really believe in and who I feel desreves a break.

  • lol nice

  • I like musicals. I like ABBA's music. I have some of their old music. This look like a cool play. Nice. :)

  • What is Chess? I'm sure this sounds like a stupid question, I've recently become a Josh Groban fan.

  • Idina Menzel has a striking resemblance to Nelly Furtado. It's scary.

  • He was fantastic in this, but the ensemble annoyed me to pieces. Especially in "One Night In Bangkok". They were like high school kids.

  • @noclassatall agreed. I hated Idina in this performance.

  • Wow, I need to time how long he held that note- hold up.....

    Ah ha, 14 seconds of true belting. I would pass out under that kind of pressure.

    You rock Prince of Romantic Music.... =D

  • Incredible talent.
