The evening, a benefit for the Entertainment Community Fund, will be presented in association with Tom Hulce and Ira Pittelman whose award-winning Broadway credits include Ain't Too Proud, Green Day's American Idiot and Spring Awakening.
The concert celebrates the gorgeous score by ABBA's Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus and celebrated EGOT winner Sir Tim Rice, and features a new book by Emmy Award winner Danny Strong.
Joining previously announced Tony Award winning Director Michael Mayer, the creative team consulting for the one-night-only concert production will include Lorin Latarro (Movement), Kevin Adams (Lighting), Steve Canyon Kennedy (Sound), David Rockwell (Scenic), Lisa Zinni (Clothes), Brian Usifer (Music Supervision, Additional Arrangements and Additional Orchestrations), Roberto Sinha (Music Direction), and Anders Eljas (Arrangements and Orchestrations). Casting is by Jim Carnahan, CSA and Jason Thinger, CSA. Lisa Lacucci will serve as Production Stage Manager.
Chess is a love story set against the historic Cold War chess battles between the United States and Russia where ideologies dangerously clash. Strong's new book is sharp, funny and captures the tension of the era as the iconic score keeps the stakes high from start to finish.
