Extra Information

• Notes: This highly acclaimed musical develops the ancient and distinguished game of chess into ametaphor for romantic rivalries and East-West political intrigue. The principal pawns form a lovetriangle: the loutish American Grandmaster, the earnest Russian champion and the Hungarian-American female chess second, who arrives at the international championships with the American,but falls for the Russian. From Tyrol to Thailand, the players, lovers, politicians, CIA and KGBmake their moves to the pulse of this monumental rock score. Several numbers, including ‘OneNight in Bangkok’ and ‘I Know Him So Well’ are international hits.
