Chess: The Underrated Musical
Singing, dancing, acting, chess, a love triangle, andthe Cold War all in one!
This unique musical lasted only two months on Broadway in 1988, but has gone through several revisions and still has quite a fan following! The 2009 Chess in Concert was filmed live at the Royal Albert Hall, starring Josh Groban, Idina Menzel, Adam Pascal, and Kerry Ellis. The show follows a love triangle during an international Chess match in the Cold War. The catchy 80's score is composed by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus (of ABBA fame!), who also wrote Mamma Mia!
