The powerhouse duo that is Lea Michele (Think: Glee) and Aaron Tveit (Think: Moulin Rouge), star in the (underrated) musical CHESS (music by Benny Andersson & Björn Ulvaeus—yes, ABBA).

Two of the greatest chess players in the world (one American and the other Soviet) compete for something beyond victory, the woman between them is caught in a high-stakes battle of desire. The musical allegorically reflected the Cold War tensions present in the 1980s.

Melodrama Must-See
GIANT
New York

“I was lucky enough to see this at The Royal Court and it was unforgettable. John Lithgow transforms into a complex, curmudgeonly Roald Dahl and leaves you with your jaw on the floor by the play's end. Sophisticated in its writing, Giant is deceptively witty, haunting and timely.”
