Chita and All That Jazz, the revue starring Chita Rivera which has been touring the nation off and on, is looking to land on Broadway this fall, Rivera said backstage at the Tony Award ceremony. The show has played Altantic City and almost made it to Broadway last year, but couldn't find an appropriate theatre. Rivera has starred in such classic musicals as Chicago and West Side Story. --Robert Simonson
