Chita Rivera to Perform Solo at the Ridgefield Playhouse

Two-time Tony winner Chita Rivera (The Visit) is set to take the stage at the Ridgefield Playhouse on November 20 in Chita: A Legendary Celebration.

The one-night event will include hits from Rivera's 65-year career, including numbers from West Side Story, Sweet Charity, Chicago, Kiss of the Spider Woman, Bye, Bye Birdie, and more, plus additional favorites by Leonard Bernstein, Charles Strouse, Jerry Herman, and Stephen Sondheim. The show will also feature a special tribute to John Kander and Fred Ebb. In addition, the concert will be preceded by a free wine tasting in the lobby of the Playhouse at 6:15pm, courtesy of the Wine Group/Benziger Family Winery.

Rivera's Ridgefield Playhouse appearance will come on the heels of her previously announced Carnegie Hall solo debut on November 7.
