Written by four-time Tony winner Terrence McNally and featuring a cast of 11, THE DANCER'S LIFE charts Chita Rivera's amazing journey from aspiring ballerina to Broadway legend. BroadwayWorld was there to cover the opening night party.

In story and song, she relives fascinating moments from the years she spent working with such greats as Bernstein, Fosse and Sondheim. And she performs knockout numbers from some of her biggest hits, including WEST SIDE STORY, CHICAGO, BYE BYE BIRDIE and KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN.
