Hey, OnlyJoking, continuing my "spazmodic seizure":-O , now sober, I searched "broadway chess" on Google and it returned a Musical called "Chess in Concert" by Tim Rice cited in Wikipedia as someone(almost as good as Jon Anderson) :
"Sir Timothy Miles Bindon "Tim" Rice (born 10 November 1944) is an English Academy Award, Golden Globe Award, Tony Award and Grammy Award-winning lyricist, author, radio personality and television gameshow panellist.

"The Arbiter: [Spoken]
And now let us dedicate ourselves to the spirit
of chess.
Chorus:
We are one united family,
Black and white.
The game--
Our one true guiding light,
Sweeping through
The darkest corners
To express
Countries, classes,
Creeds as one,
In love of chess."
WEIRD...

That's the one I was thinking of but couldn't remember the title

| Monkey writers have been Paying the critics for decades. |
That's just bananas.
Chess is a Webber/Rice musical about chess. Cats is a Webber/Rice musical about cats. As you can see, popular shows such as these have seldom made great demands on the thought box.

I remember now that "Phish", the American jam band, whatever how they are labeled, used to play with the audience in their shows in the 90's, a couple of moves each show. You can check below a text by Eric Shiller and a show where they begin an Italian game (Gioco Piano), I think. The audience is White. The keyboard guy moves the pieces.

Robelix,
Do you set down your name in the scrolls of youth, that are written down old with all the characters of age? Have you not a moist eye, a dry hand, a yellow cheek, a white beard, a decreasing leg, an increasing belly? Is not your voice broken, your wind short, your chin double, your wit single, and every part about you blasted with antiquity? And will you yet call yourself young?
