Chess - In Concert (2CD) release
The recording of the show that will be broadcast on PBS on the 17th, will be released the day before (16th)
"'Chess' in Concert
A 2008 revival of the musical "Chess," in which melodies by ABBA's Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus and lyrics by Tim Rice propel the story of a Russian and American chess players (Josh Groban, Adam Pascal) and the woman (Idina Menzel) they both love."
it's a great score, and for once, the musical will the true finalized version from Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeu. The song 'One Night in Bangkok' orginated from the musical.

I hope this isn't popular, because it'll completely ruin one of the great bits of music trivia.
"Oh, yeah, that song. You know it originated in a rock opera about chess written by the two dudes from ABBA?"
"What?"
