AddressRockdale Town Hall, Princes Hwy, Rockdale.
Set in the mid 80's, the story involves the World Chess Championships, the American current title holder, his partner and the Russian contender. This quickly turns into a drama-ridden love triangle, commenting on how cold war tensions of the time seemed to dominate all aspects of life - even those considered to be the more refined ones.

The musical works its way through the scenic towns of Merano, Italy and Bangkok, Thailand, and with many hit songs such as "One Night in Bangkok" and "I Know Him So Well", the show is instantly recognisable to an audience of all ages.

Being performed 'In The Round', the show not only boasts the ability for the audience to get into the emotion and action of the show they also have a 3D view of the directionally intended production (including three different front row views).
