CHESS
Synopsis: The composers of Mamma Mia! and the lyricist of The Lion King team up to create a grandiose rock musical set during a chess championship between the USA and the USSR. The pawns in the game are a loutish American chess star, an earnest Russian champion, and a Hungarian-American female assistant to the American who falls for the Russian.
