    • Chess in Concert (2008 London Concert Cast) Notes

    "If anybody wants to know which version (of Chess) has my official seal of approval then my intention is that the show being unveiled here at the Royal Albert Hall is it." —Tim Rice

    Starring multiplatinum artist Josh Groban, Tony-winning Idina Menzel (Wicked) and Tony nominated Adam Pascal (RENT), Chess In Concert revives the eclectic yet wonderfully pop 1984 concept album featuring the music of ABBA’s Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson and lyrics of Tim Rice (Jesus Christ Superstar, The Lion King, Evita). Recorded at London’s Royal Albert Hall in May 2008, this spectacular Chess In Concert — introduced by Rice and with the 50-piece City of London Philharmonic and 100-voice West End Chorus — finally fulfills the promise of the popularcult musical.
