This is an original Playbill from a May 1988 performance of "Chess," at the Imperial Theatre in New York City. The performance starred Judy Kuhn, David Carroll, Philip Casnoff, Dennis Parlato, Marcia Mitzman, Paul Harman and Harry Goz. 

The musical, featuring music by ABBA's Benny Andersson & Björn Ulvaeus and Tim Rice, had a short but notable Broadway run in 1988 at the Imperial Theatre. Directed by Trevor Nunn, it opened April 28, 1988 and closed after just 68 performances despite strong performances and iconic songs like "One Night in Bangkok". The production earned Tony nominations for Kuhn and Carroll but ultimately struggled to find its footing, though its music remained popular.
