This just occured to me.  The London version, of course.  The
American version is crap of the highest order.

I dunno whether I'll do anything about it, but...

CHESS (Benny Andersson, Tim Rice, Bjorn Ulvaeus)

starring

Ryouga Hibiki as THE RUSSIAN
Ranma Saotome as THE AMERICAN
Akane Tendo as FLORENCE
Nabiki Tendo as THE ARBITER
Tatewaki Kunou as MOLOKOV
Akari Unryuu as SVETLANA

What'd'ya think?  Can't have Ranma as the Russian, and DEFINITELY
can't have Ryouga as the American.  I like the implied reversal.
