Chess (musical)
''Chess'' is a musical with music by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus of the pop group ABBA, lyrics by Ulvaeus and Tim Rice, and book by Rice. The story involves a politically driven, Cold War-era chess tournament between two grandmasters, one American and the other Soviet, and their fight over a woman who manages one and falls in love with the other.

Released and staged at the height of the strong anti-communist agenda tha ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
