Chita Rivera: My Broadway
Her name is synonymous with the best of Broadway. Chita Rivera has created such acclaimed roles as Anita in “West Side Story,” Rosie in “Bye Bye Birdie,” and Velma Kelly in “Chicago.” The accomplished actress/singer/dancer has garnered a long list of recognitions, including two Tony Awards (for “Kiss of the Spider Woman” and “The Rink”) and seven Tony nominations.
In “My Broadway,” Rivera performs songs from her most celebrated performances, featuring the music of composers Leonard Bernstein, John Kander, Fred Ebb, Charles Strouse, Stephen Sondheim and Cy Coleman. You’ll hear “America” from “West Side Story,” “Where Am I Going?” and “Big Spender” from “Sweet Charity,” “All That Jazz” and “Nowadays” from “Chicago,” and many more.
The reviews speak for themselves. The New York Times raves, “Chita Rivera has a gleam in her eye, a smirk on her lips and a bounce in her step . . . you leave this show walking on air!” The Associated Press says, “Chita Rivera is more than a musical theater star. She’s a force of nature,” and the Los Angeles Times calls Rivera, “Shimmering show-biz perfection.”
