Michele’s return to Broadway, which has been expected for some time, is now a big celebration, where she is mainly known for ‘Spring Awakening’ and later appeared in television series with her talents, is now a big celebration.
So, it all started with the caption “press day for @chessbway” along with a steaming mug emoji and “@brianmeller” giving photo credit. People were already aware that she was not only present at a press day for the new show but also in vogue. The glamor and the fashion made it so that one could hardly tell the difference between the portraits and the Broadway.
Before long, there was a comment: “Lea es tan hermosa,” which means “Lea is so beautiful” in Spanish. This was exactly what people were talking about in their comments about the post.
Another user was so excited that he/she wrote: “I’ll be a bit slow getting back from this.” The exaggerated manner of the speaking showed how the visual impact of Michele was on her crowd. The buzz was so strong that many admitted they were not prepared for how gorgeous she showed up.
One observer made a comment: “This look is such a serve,” using fashionable slang to point out that Michele’s dressing and the whole showing were just right. The word meant that from her outfit to her poses all was done in perfection.
One fan was not shy and proclaimed, “GORGEOUS! absolutely GORGEOUS! Hope all is going well sweetie.” The double exclamation point drew attention to how much the admirer adored Michele’s look and at the same time, she was offering her warm wishes to Michele’s current projects coming along with her.
While everyone was raving about her beauty, the topic about her professional standing also came up. One person said to the actress, “You should get a Tony Award!” which signified a strong faith that Michele would be able to deliver a performance of such caliber as to win a prestigious award. The high hopes being built for her return to Broadway after having enchanted the critics as Fanny Brice in ‘Funny Girl’ could not be a coincidence.
It turned out that the hype for the show was equally powerful. One comment from a fan was, “I can’t wait for the first talk show host interviews and stuff to start; that’s what I’m waiting for well that in the obvious that I was posted about until people get sick of hearing it, but I want the pro shot and I want the cast recording. I can’t help it.” The long, enthusiastic ramble was a perfect expression of the burning anticipation that some fans have for all content related to the show.
Dramatic reactions did go that far to the point of “jaw dropped to the floor mama!” Some viewers really felt that way—they were just so speechless because Michele’s pictures did literally stun them. The informal and friendly tone of the comment made it seem as if the speaker was sharing a very intimate and spontaneous reaction to the photos.
Global fans were on board too, and one of them even commented in Portuguese, “Mamãe tá linda, o suco verde é real,” which translates to “Mom is beautiful, the green juice is real.” The humorous intimation about “green juice” suggests that whatever health regimen Michele is on, it is obviously working wonders.
The massive reaction to these simple press day snapshots indicates that there is considerable thrill already surrounding Michele’s return to her theatrical roots. After making her mark on television with ‘Glee,’ followed by the critical acclaim of her Broadway comeback with ‘Funny Girl,’ all eyes are now on her in ‘Chess.’ This musical, which has music from ABBA’s Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus and lyrics from Tim Rice, tells a love story between a woman and two male chess players during a World Chess Championship at the time of the Cold War.
