Lea Michele is returning to Broadway this Fall, and she is doing it with Aaron Tveit and Nicholas Christopher. The three actors will star in an updated version of the 1984 musical Chess, written by Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s 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. 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 score was created by ABBA’s Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, and lyrics were written by EGOT winner Tim Rice.
I thought Michele’s next role was taking Funny Girl to the big screen. I guess there was no interest, which is why she is returning to the Great White Way!
