Destiny, with a roaring electric guitar and a bouncing bass line, brought them together.

It didn’t have a Broadway budget or extravagant set, but 42nd Street Moon’s production of “Chess in Concert” is a reminder of the joys of live theater and why it warrants appreciation.

“Mamma Mia!” brings in audiences with its retro musical numbers and gleefully soapy plot — two charming factors that Berkeley Playhouse’s adaptation mostly manages to capture.
