Broadway Reviews

NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW:

"When Chita Rivera invites you to come on, babe, and help her paint the town, no one with a pulse is going to feel like refusing. Ms. Rivera was the first Velma Kelly, the homicidal hedonist from the Kander-Ebb musical "Chicago" in its first Broadway incarnation in 1975. And when she delivers that show's exultantly jaded theme song, "All That Jazz," at the end of her autobiographical show, "Chita Rivera: The Dancer's Life," Ms. Rivera makes it quite clear, thank you, that she still owns the part."
