Anita in "West Side Story." Rosie in "Bye Bye Birdie." Velma in "Chicago." Those are just some of the iconic roles created by the incredible Chita Rivera. The Broadway legend has been lighting up Broadway and international stages for over 70 years.

With originating roles in a host of other iconic Broadway shows including "Mr. Wonderful," "The Rink," "Bajour," and "Kiss of the Spider Woman," and major revivals of "Nine," "The Mystery of Edwin Drood," and numerous others, Rivera was also a frequent guest star during the Golden Age of Television variety specials. This past season, Ms. Rivera returned to Broadway's Lyceum Theatre in a Tony-nominated starring role in "The Visit."
