Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A Rock Opera with music by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus of ABBA and with book and lyrics by Tim Rice. It was originally produced as a successful Concept Album in 1984, then became a West End production, and eventually reached Broadway. Each version of the show underwent changes in story and music; Rice considers the most recent version, performed in concert at Royal Albert Hall in 2008, to be the official one. A new revival with a restructured storyline was planned to hit Broadway in late 2018, but it only had pre-Broadway trials at Kennedy Center.The plot of each version has about this much in common: it concerns the World Chess Championships set against the backdrop of the Cold War. There's the brash American champion Freddie Trumper, the reserved Russian challenger Anatoly Sergievsky, the American's second Florence Vassy who switches her affections to the Russian, the Russian's wife Svetlana, KGB and CIA agents (Alexander/Ivan Molokov and Walter de Courcey, respectively) working behind the scenes, and an Arbiter presiding over the tournaments.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Alternate Character Interpretation: The Musical. Every iteration of Chess seems to have a new take on the characters and even the story.invoked | |

Album Title Drop | |
| Chess (Theatre) / int_dbc664dd | comment |
Album Title Drop: Subverted, because the only number that's specifically called Chess (in any incarnation) doesn't actually have any lyrics. When that musical theme, a serene, yet cerebral waltz, does show up blatantly (thrice, the last given words in "Endgame"), it's a sort of leitmotif for "chess for Chess' sake", to paraphrase MGM's Tag Line. "Hymn to Chess" communicates (a part of) the same idea vocally (until "Endgame", that is). | |

Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder: Sort of. Freddie shows up in Bangkok after a year without any contact with Florence. Anatoly suspects he's in town because of this trope, but it turns he's working for Walter. | |
