Tony Winners Chita Rivera, Roger Rees & the Cast of The Visit Begin Previews on Broadway

Legendary two-time Tony winner Chita Rivera, Tony winner Roger Rees and the cast of The Visit begin previews on March 26. Directed by John Doyle and choreographed by Graciela Daniele, the musical will officially open on April 23 at Broadway's Lyceum Theatre.

John Kander and Fred Ebb’s The Visit is based on the classic Friedrich Dürrenmatt play (adapted by Maurice Valency) and features a book by Terrence McNally, with music by Kander and lyrics by Ebb. Claire Zachanassian is an often-widowed millionairess who pays a visit to her hardship-stricken birthplace. The locals hope she’ll bring them a new lease on life, but little do they know her offer to revitalize the town comes at a dreadful price.

The production will also feature George Abud, Jason Danieley, Matthew Deming, Diana Dimarzio, David Garrison, Rick Holmes, Tom Nelis, Chris Newcomer, Mary Beth Peil, Aaron Ramey, Elena Shadow, Timothy Shew, John Riddle and Michelle Veintimilla.
