Aaron tveit next project


Heaven help our hearts, because Chess is returning to Broadway at last, stacked with an all-star cast. The cult-favorite musical has not officially graced the Broadway stage (save for a few one-night-only concerts) since its premiere in 1988, which ran for just two months.

Performances will begin in the fall in a Shubert-owned theatre, both to be announced. You can sign up for ticketing alerts at ChessBroadway.com.

The cast will be led by Tony winner Aaron Tveit as Freddie Trumper, Lea Michele as Florence Vassey, and Nicholas Christopher as Anatoly Sergievsky. The performance will see Michele originating a role on the Main Stem for the first time since 2006's Spring Awakening. Get a sneak peek of the Broadway favorites in the video above.

With music from ABBA’s Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, and lyrics by Tim Rice, this first-ever Broadway revival will be refreshed with a new book by Emmy winner Danny Strong (Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 & 2), and a creative team featuring director Michael Mayer (Spring Awakening) and choreographer Lorin Latarro (Waitress). Brian Usifer will serve as music supervisor.
