This is not a drill: you only have a few days left to see Broadway history in the making as living legend Chita Rivera stars in the final Kander & Ebb musical The Visit. And take it from us, the diva delivers—as this Tony Awards performance proves.

And let's use this photo of Fosse and Chita to segue into the Chicago section of these photos.
