Born Dolores Conchita Figueroa del Rivero, multiple Tony Award winner Chita Rivera was influential in creating some of Broadway's most iconic roles, including Anita in West Side Story? Rosie in Bye Bye, Birdie, Velma in Chicago, and Aurora in Kiss of the Spider Woman. In an informal sit-down style she tells a captivating story, both as the upbeat, sparkling Chita and as the tough-as-nails Dolores, while also bringing us backstage to meet Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim, Bob Fosse, Jerome Robbins, Hal Prince, Liza Minnelli, Sammy Davis Jr, Gwen Verdon, Shirley MacLaine, and many, many others.
