Two-time Tony Award-winning Broadway legend Chita Rivera returns to Broadway this spring in Kander and Ebb’s final musical The Visit (Saw it Williamstown, AMAZING). Previews begin on March 26 at the Lyceum Theatre, and the Tony race just got intense as Chita won both her Tony Awards for starring roles in previous Kander and Ebb musicals. #JustSayin
