While Tim Rice's lyrics aren't too shabby, Chess owes it all to the team of Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, a.k.a. the BB in Abba. Their score has the drama that makes for good musical theater, and it doesn't shy from canny pop hooks either. \"One Night in Bangkok\" was a hit in Europe, while Judy Kuhn particularly shines on the poignant \"Nobody's Side.\" Indeed, Chess is full of superb numbers that basically fall into two types: instantly memorable and growing-on-you memorable. --Elisabeth Vincentelli\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0078635770025\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.6 x 5.0 x 0.6 inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Stage Door Exchange","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45179677016087,"sku":"B000002WBG","price":123.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/thestagedoorexchange.com\/products\/chess-1988-original-broadway-cast","provider":"The Stage Door Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
