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.
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.
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.

Great cast, incredible production, and score. Love seeing this come back from the 80s.

I had so many emotions going to see this show. I saw the original in London when it opened and I had not seen the live production of it since then. I did not make it to Broadway when it had its six week run. Aaron Tveit is my favorite Broadway actor and I was super excited to see him on stage. This reworking of the show is fantastic. The set was perfect. The cast was incredible and it was a fun evening to spend. I am incredibly impressed with everyone that was on stage, including Aaron!!
