In this groundbreaking rock musical, the world renowned game of chess becomes a battleground for romantic rivalries, super-power Cold War politics, and international intrigue. From Bangkok to Budapest, the players, lovers, politicians and spies manipulate and are manipulated to the pulse of a monumental score by the ABBA team that includes such classics as “One Night in Bangkok” and “Heaven Help My Heart.”
… one of the best rock scores ever produced in the theatre.
