Imperial Theatre Tickets

It’s game on. Power and passion colliding on that age-old checkered board; two grandmasters going head to head for victory – and something way more than that. Bold moves – tensions rising, tempers flaring, and lives forever changed. Checkmate. 
Few games have aged as well as the one delving deep into a checkered and seductive battle in black-and-white of love, loyalty, and power, and this season you’re invited to a showdown much bigger than a chessboard. The stakes are high, the passion burning, the rivalry unparalleled – and this season it is coming to life on stage once more! 

It’s one of the greatest musical theatre scores ever written alongside intricate psychological drama; it’s memorable melodies are paired with a king’s worth of passion and a queen’s worth of battles surpassing the blocks of a chessboard; it’s one of the boldest moves to hit Broadway in recent years – and it is coming to the Imperial Theatre this season!

That’s right – Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus, and Tim Rice’s timeless piece CHESS: THE MUSICAL is reimagined, revived, and redone – and is back on Broadway!
