This production of *Chess* brings the iconic 1986 musical to New York, featuring music by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus of ABBA, with lyrics by Ulvaeus and Tim Rice. The story unfolds against the backdrop of a Cold War-era chess tournament, following two grandmasters—one American, one Soviet—and the woman caught between them. Audiences can expect a politically charged narrative that uses the chessboard as a metaphor for international tensions, all set to a powerful score that includes classics like "One Night in Bangkok" and "I Know Him So Well."

The show has a rich history of revisions, and this staging incorporates a new book by Danny Strong, following its Broadway revival in 2025.
