Chita Rivera Recorded Her Great Performances Concert in Spite of Blizzard

While Broadway was closing up shop last night in preparation for Winter Storm Juno, two-time Tony-winning Broadway legend Chita Rivera was performing to a packed house at Lincoln Center's Appel Room in the Time Warner Center.

The special performance, produced by Thirteen, was taped for the Great Performance series. The concert, scheduled to be broadcast as part of PBS’ Fall Arts Festival 2015, offered a retrospective of Rivera's extensive career. She performed numbers from some of her most renowned projects including West Side Story, Sweet Charity, Chicago, Kiss of the Spider Woman, Bye Bye Birdie, The Rink, and The Visit, which she will headline on Broadway this spring. She also included a special tribute to her dear friends and longtime collaborators John Kander, Fred Ebb, and Terrence McNally.

Rivera was joined by an 11-piece orchestra, led by her music director Michael Croiter, as well as her longtime associate music director/pianist Michael Patrick Walker and bassist Jim Donica.
