Paul, Jill, and Julie travel back in time to the height of the Cold War with 1988’s Chess! This first foray into musical theatre is brought to us by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus of ABBA and Mamma Mia! fame. Bringing the show to life are Judy Kuhn and David Carroll with direction by Trevor Nunn. It’s power suits. It’s brick-sized cell phones. It’s Russia vs. America. It’s a game played by old dudes in the park taken to dramatic new heights.

Paul and Jill accost Julie with important questions, such as: where are all the women at? Can I move my rook to Queen’s 3? Is that even a thing? Why doesn’t this musical add more to its run time and teach us how to play chess?
