CHESS key art
This fall, Tony Award庐 winner Aaron Tveit (Moulin Rouge!), Emmy庐 Award nominee Lea Michele (Funny Girl, Glee), and breakout powerhouse Nicholas Christopher (Sweeney Todd, Hamilton) star on Broadway in CHESS鈥攖he iconic musical where power and passion collide, and the stakes couldn鈥檛 be higher.
With a legendary score by 础叠叠础鈥檚 Benny Andersson and Bj枚rn Ulvaeus, lyrics by Emmy, Grammy庐, Oscar庐 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.
It鈥檚 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鈥攑ersonal, professional, and political鈥攊s at risk鈥� and nobody鈥檚 rules are the same.
Information is subject to change prior to opening night.
Performances are scheduled to begin October 15, 2025.
