The stage musical features music and lyrics by Benny Andersson, Tim Rice and Bji¶rn Ulvaeus, and a new book by Danny Strong.

"It's America versus Russia at the World Chess Championship, where the espionage and romance are as complicated and exhilarating as the game itself," a synopsis of the show said.

"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."

The show initially opened in 1988 and played for two months.
