Chita Rivera's Opening night entrance in THE VISIT on Broadway

On April 23rd, 2015, Chita opened on Broadway in THE VISIT to a thrilling standing ovation. Playing Claire Zachanassian, she disembarks a train with entourage in tow as the townspeople cower.

A great artist, Chita Rivera. I saw her in KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN almost 30 years ago and never forgot her incredible presence on the stage.

It's "Brava."

It is such a shame that they did not keep her entrance from the original production at The Goodman. She arose from the floor, down stage center, flanked by what looked like millions of dollars of luggage. Rivera looked so regal it took the audience's breath away. I am so sorry this show did not succeed but the score was weak.

Thank you for filming it. Those idiots are so afraid of taping but we would have missed this great moment. I have been with Chita and am an acquaintance of hers and I can say she is magnificent and a great lady.

I was one of the ones screaming last Wednesday night.
