Chess - Broadway
2026 Tony Award Nominee
This fall, Tony Award® winner Aaron Tveit (Moulin Rouge! The Musical), 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.
Please note: Lea Michele will not perform on 5/24 nor 6/5. Lea Michele's final performance will be 6/21.
Multi-platinum singer, songwriter, and actress Joanna "JoJo" Levesque will join the cast as Florence 6/23 - 9/13.
