Through her social media posts, Lea Michele is allowing us to see much of her life but not all of it is chess-related. The actress performing on Broadway in the musical ‘Chess’ shared a photo with two of her co-stars and wrote ‘we don’t only play chess’ as a casual caption. The picture, taken by @apisukh, captures a moment in which the three of them are relaxed and enjoying each other’s company, which hints at a friendship that extends well beyond the characters they portray on stage.
The post made a quick link to many who consider them to be a super skilled group. One user commented: ‘The best trio of Broadway. Stars,’ which was a perfect reflection of the general respect for the crew’s skill and chemistry. There is no question that their engagement is very strong.
Another comment was more funny and powerful, and it referred to the vocal strength necessary for the characters. The commenter wrote, ‘You guys don’t only play Chess but also break windows, create shockwaves, and send things flying using your voices’, thereby highlighting the power and great skill the cast demonstrates every night in that particular production. A great way of illustrating the hard side of performing eight times a week.
The chilled-out vibe of the image even provoked a follower’s Aha moment. They wrote, ‘girl i literally have been to this bar,’ thus linking the stars’ lives with a layer of nearly everyone’s connection to the place. Followers usually feel more connected with the celebrities they admire when receiving these very personal glimpses that are often small.
Even among the laughs, one call was clearer and more impassioned than the others. An Irish follower made an emotional plea for a tour at the end of the current season. ‘I know it’s pretty challenging to juggle your time between chess now and in the near future but please let us know the Irish tour dates for 2026 as soon as it’s done,’ the long comment read and included a myriad of Irish flag emojis. The message hints at the global reach of Michele’s fandom and their eager anticipation for her to visit their city first. It brings to mind a loving community that is always with the artist even if it means being at the end of the queue or on the other side of the ocean.
The comment that was simple but very effective, ‘Love the vibes ❤️ best trio,’ perfectly summed up the main idea of the post— a party of a successful and seemingly happy professional collaboration. One user concluded with contemporary praise that was brief, ‘but you DO serve full time 🔥’ indicating that they always deliver their best and inspire the audience.

Lea Michele’s post is a gentle reminder that the relationships formed backstage are as influential as the bright lights on stage. In fact, by sharing this little snippet of her life she is not only promoting her present job but also making the life of Broadway artists more relatable as they are the ones who need to put up with and get along with people who turned out to be their friends. It is a small insight into the world of a successful show, and the audience is undoubtedly very much in favor of it. The general positive reaction indicates that even a minor off-duty moment may have a significant impact on the connection between an artist and their fans. The Broadway’s Chess revival has been a major topic of discussion. Michele recently made a national television debut on Fallon with the production. She also shared nostalgic film photos from her Fallon appearance. Her connection with co-star Jonathan Groff has been well-documented through their shared behind-the-scenes moments.
