FIRST LOOK: Poster Artwork for Broadway's The Visit, Starring Chita Rivera

The New York Times has a sneak peek at the poster for the upcoming Broadway run of The Visit, the new John Kander-Fred Ebb musical that stars Tony Award-winning legend Chita Rivera with Roger Rees.

One of the final musicals by the legendary songwriting pair, The Visit begins performances March 26 at the Lyceum Theatre before opening on April 23. Directed by John Doyle and featuring a book by Terrence McNally and choreography by Graciela Daniele, the production originated in 2014 at Williamstown Theatre Festival.

The Visit tells the story of Claire Zachanassian (Rivera), the oft-widowed richest woman in the world as she returns to the hardship-stricken town of her birth, where the locals pray that her wealth will bring them a new lease on life. But the carefully plotted renewal she offers carries a dreadful price. It is based on the 1956 play of the same title by Friedrich Dürrenmatt.

The musical has been aiming for Broadway since 2000. Originally scheduled for a Broadway opening in 2001 with Angela Lansbury as the star, the production was canceled when Lansbury withdrew following the death of her husband. A subsequent 2001 production at Chicago's Goodman Theatre, starring Rivera, aimed for Broadway but was delayed after September 11. Financing issues scuttled a 2003 production off-Broadway at the Public Theater. A 2008 staging took place at Signature Theatre in Washington, D.C, and a Vineyard Theatre benefit concert of the musical occurred in 2011. The 2014 Williamstown production ran from July 31-August 17.
