Chess - The Musical

Before Mamma Mia!, members of the pop group ABBA teamed up with Tim Rice (Jesus Christ Superstar, The Lion King, Evita) to create a dynamic drama centered around the world chess championship; mirroring the 1980s Cold War tensions of USA vs. Soviet Russia. The dazzling and beautiful pop rock score became a worldwide smash, including the hit single “One Night in Bangkok.”  Directed by Artistic Director PAUL MOW, and starring DAN MAXON (Anatoly) and ABBY MURRAY VACHON (Florence), the musical Chess makes its move to SW Michigan for the first time, as the game’s long history continues to rise in popularity.
