Chess the Musical
Chess The Musical
'Chess is a musical with music by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus of the pop group ABBA, and with lyrics by Tim Rice. The story involves a politically driven, Cold War-era chess tournament between two men—an American grandmaster and a Soviet grandmaster—and their fight over a woman who manages one and falls in love with the other. Although the protagonists were not intended to represent any real individuals, the character of the American grandmaster (named Freddie Trumper in the stage version) was loosely based on Bobby Fischer, while elements of the story may have been inspired by the chess careers of Russian grandmasters Viktor Korchnoi and Anatoly Karpov.'

Sound Design
The Sound Design was complex and comprised of completely digital music, crafted by two Composers from the MA Musical Theatre. The Sound Design was programmed by Sound Designer Calum Paterson from BA Production Technology & Management, and featured over 200 individual cues from a Cue Stack of over 700 elements. This was the largest and most complex christmas the Conservatoire has ever seen.
