Chess (2018)
Chess is a musical with music by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus of the pop group ABBA, and with lyrics by Tim Rice. The story involves a politically driven, Cold War-era chess tournament between two men - Freddie Trumper, an American grandmaster (Raúl) and his Soviet rival, Antoly Sergievsky (Ramin Karimloo)—and their fight over a woman, Florence Vassy (Karen Olivo) who manages one and falls in love with the other.
