Following their highly successful productions of SWEENEY TODD and OKLAHOMA! last year, Ocean Youth Theatre’s highly talented cast are back with CHESS like you've never seen it before.
From the composers of the smash hit Mamma Mia!, this highly acclaimed musical
transforms the fiercely competitive globe-trotting world of Grand Champion
Chess into a supercharged mix of romantic rivalries and political intrigue.
Based on an East meets West love triangle, the players, lovers, politicians
and spies make their moves to the pulse of a monumental and diverse rock
score, including the international hits "One Night in Bangkok",
"Anthem", and "I Know Him So Well".
The musical takes the audience on a journey through the scenic towns of
Merano, Italy and Bangkok, Thailand across two years of explosive game playing
and manipulation.
This vibrant musical has sharp lyrics by Tim Rice combined with a rock score
by Benny Anderson and Björn Ulvaeus (of ABBA fame) and originated as
a concept album released in 1984. One Night in Bangkok was a million-selling
smash across the globe, topping the charts in many countries, including
the UK, US, and Australia. The duet of I Know Him So Well was number one
in the UK for three weeks when released as a single by Elaine Paige and
Barbara Dickson.
