Lea Michele Sets Broadway Return in 'Chess'

Lea Michele will be starring in a Broadway revival of the classic musical "Chess" alongside Aaron Tveit and Nicholas Christopher.

 It’s billed as “the iconic musical where power and passion collide, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. It’s America versus Russia at the World Chess Championship, where the espionage and romance are as complicated and exhilarating as the game itself. For the two players and the woman torn between them, everything—personal, professional, and political—is at risk… and nobody’s rules are the same.”

The revival will be directed by Michael Mayer, and a new book is being written by Danny Strong.

"Chess" will open in Fall 2025 at a Shubert theater.
