At the moment Lea Michele is playing the leading role in the Broadway revival of the musical ‘Chess’ and the opening night was clearly a hit. She shared the moment with a post in which she labeled it “another favorite moment from our opening night party” and showing also the accompanied emoji of a chess piece, ♟️, which perfectly complemented the current production of the actress. The post was almost like a tiny thank-you to the cast, crew and everyone involved and it managed to capture the high spirits of a major theatre premiere happening that day.
The reaction was quick and incredibly positive. A user called the moment “so iconic” while another one told that Michele is “one of the strongest women”. The flattering comments didn’t stop there; someone even said, “It should be illegal to look that beautiful and talented.” Another commenter focused on her performance saying, “The show last night was fantastic!” thereby confirming that the stage work was indeed worth it. Admiration for Michele’s personal style was also made public when a follower said, “I love your style! All your outfits are gorgeous!”
However, among the sea of flattering comments, there was one particular plea that stood out for its sheer persistence and geographic specificity. A dedicated fan from Ireland has been constantly and very sincerely asking the star to announce the tour dates for Ireland in 2026. The long message that was posted several times showed a strong desire for Michele to visit Ireland, including a meet-and-greet session for her “huge Irish fan base.” The person who commented went as far as to say they had been following Michele since 2009 and used Irish flag emojis throughout the message to reinforce this. This powerful request underscores not only the global reach of Michele’s fans but also the anticipation for her to visit various international stages as soon as her Broadway engagement is finished.
