The 1983 production of "Abbacadabra", written by former ABBA members, Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, saw Paige star in the role of Carabosse. She then originated the role of Florence for the 1984 concept album of "Chess", with lyrics by Tim Rice and music by Ulvaeus and Andersson. Her albums, "Stages" (1983), and "Cinema" (1984), rejoined the cast recording of "Chess" in the UK top 40 chart, giving her three consecutive successful albums. In 1985, Paige released "I Know Him So Well", a duet from "Chess", singing with Barbara Dickson. The single held the number 1 position in the British singles charts for four weeks, and still remains the biggest-selling record by a female duo, according to the "Guinness Book of Records". From 1986 to 1987, Paige appeared as Florence in the stage production of "Chess", a role that earned her a second Olivier Award nomination, this time in the category, Best Actress in a Musical. She next sang at the White House in 1988.
