Chess

The Musical
A Musical with Book by

Richard Nelson

Lyrics by

Tim Rice

Music by

Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson

Based on an idea by the lyricist of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor DreamcoatJesus Christ Superstar, and Evita, and boasting an immortal score from the two Bs of ABBA, Chess is likely the most popular cult hit in musical theater history. In this groundbreaking rock musical, the game of chess becomes a metaphor for Cold War politics, international intrigue, and romantic decision making. From Bangkok to Budapest, the players, lovers, politicians, and spies play out their moves to the pulse of a monumental rock score that includes “Anthem,” “One Night in Bangkok,” and “Pity the Child.”
