[Debbie Rodriguez]

Chita Rivera returns to Broadway as the star of Kander and Ebb's The Visit, based on Friedrich Dürrenmatt's 1956 play. The Broadway show began performances on March 26 and opened on April 23 at the Lyceum Theatre. Chita Rivera’s inspiring and charismatic performance in a tale of romance, betrayal and revenge was memorable!
