The collaborators on Chess are giants of rock music and rock
musicals and they have created a complex rock opera that played to
full Broadway houses and standing ovations. Here the ancient game
becomes a metaphor for romantic rivalries, competitive
gamesmanship, super power politics and international intrigues. The
pawns in this drama form a love triangle: the loutish American
chess star, the earnest Russian champion and a Hungarian American
female assistant who arrives at the international chess match in
Bangkok with the American but falls for the Russian. From Bangkok
to Budapest the players, lovers, politicians, and spies manipulate
and are manipulated to the pulse of a monumental rock score that
includes "One Night in Bangkok" and "Heaven Help My Heart."
"One of the best rock scores ever produced. This is an angry,
difficult, demanding and rewarding show."- Time
