"In this production of Chess," according to press notes, "the ancient game becomes a metaphor for romantic rivalries, competitive gamesmanship, political power-plays and international intrigues. From one match to another, the players, lovers, politicians, and spies manipulate and are manipulated to the pulse of a monumental rock score by ABBA’s Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, with book by Richard Nelson and lyrics by Tim Rice."

The production will also have scenic design by Katie McGeorge, costume design by Antonio Consuegra, lighting design by Catherine Clark, sound design by Scott Tunkel, properties design by Emily Banks and graphic design and projections by Betsy Wilkowski and KELLYdesigns LLC.
