Chita Rivera, one of Broadway’s greatest performers and a bona fide living legend, is set to return to the Great White Way with her new show Chita Rivera: The Dancer’s Life, which is currently in rehearsals.

Directed and choreographed by Graciela Daniele (Once On This Island, Ragtime), The Dancer’s Life will feature Rivera and a cast of ten performers in sparkling new versions of her signature numbers. The musical also features a book by Tony Award winner Terrence McNally.

At left, Rivera and Daniele strike a pose for the cameras, while below Rivera is seen with her male cast members at a rehearsal of Chita Rivera: The Dancer's Life at the 42nd Street Studios on West 42nd Street in New York City.

Chita Rivera: The Dancer's Life begins previews in November.
