Today we rewind to 2005, when Chita Rivera mamboed back to Broadway in the revue based on her life, The Dancer's Life. The musical, which earned Chita her ninth Tony nomination, featured a book by Terrence McNally, original songs by Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens, and additional songs from various other composers' catalogs.
