Chess

**LET THE GAMES BEGIN.** <br> This fall, Tony Award® winner **Aaron Tveit** (_Moulin Rouge!_), Emmy® Award nominee **Lea Michele** (_Funny Girl_, _Glee_), and breakout powerhouse **Nicholas Christopher**  (_Sweeney Todd_, _Hamilton_) star on Broadway in _**CHESS**_ — the iconic musical where power and passion collide, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. <br> It’s America versus Russia at the World Chess Championship, where the espionage and romance are as complicated and exhilarating as the game itself. For the two players and the woman torn between them, everything—personal, professional, and political— is at risk… and nobody’s rules are the same. <br> With a legendary score by **ABBA’s** **Benny Andersson**  and **Björn Ulvaeus**, lyrics by Emmy, Grammy®, Oscar® and Tony winner **Tim Rice** (_Evita_, _Jesus Christ Superstar_), a new book by Emmy winner **Danny Strong**  (_Dopesick_, _The Butler_), and direction by Tony winner **Michael Mayer** (_Spring Awakening_, _Hedwig and the Angry Inch_), _**CHESS**_ is the must-see Broadway event of the season.
