Based on the satirical play by Friedrich Dürrenmatt as adapted by Maurice Valency, The Visitfeatures music and lyrics by the Tony Award-winning team John Kander & Fred Ebb, book by four-time Tony Award-winning playwright Terrence McNally. Helmed by Tony Award-winning director John Doyle, The Visit is choreographed by Tony Award-nominee Graciela Daniele.
In her juiciest role yet, Chita Rivera is Claire Zachannassian, the world's wealthiest woman, who returns home to Anton Schell (Roger Rees) who captured her heart then shattered her dreams. What she does next shocks the town and makes for the most thrilling and intriguing musical in years. This tale of romance, seduction and betrayal proves that the best revenge is revenge.
