An enjoyable evening ... the seating is intimate ... and the singing and staging was excellent ... a bit/lot disturbing subject matter ... but intersting ... and seeing the actors up close, got you more into the story ...Written on May 27 2008

First rate show with a first rate cast (not just the stars but also the supporting players). As expected, the music was incredible and it's a crime that The Visit is not as well known. A big Bravo to Kander and Ebb and especially Signature Theater.Written on May 26 2008

Chita Rivera (Claire) created the role of Claire in the original production of The Visit at the Goodman Theatre in Chicago. An accomplished and versatile actress/singer/dancer, Rivera has won two Tony Awards as Best Leading Actress in a Musical (Kiss of the Spider Woman and The Rink) and received seven additional Tony nominations. She recently starred in the Broadway and touring productions of The Dancer’s Life, a dazzling new musical celebrating her spectacular career, written by Terence McNally and directed by Graciela Daniele. Rivera received the coveted Kennedy Center Honor in Washington, DC, in December 2002, and is the first Hispanic ever chosen to receive this award. She recently starred in the revival of the Broadway musical Nine with Antonio Banderas. She trained as a ballerina (from age 11) before receiving a scholarship to the American School of Ballet from legendary George Balanchine. Rivera’s first appearance (age 17) was in the chorus of Call Me Madam. Her electric performance as Anita in the Broadway premiere of West Side Story (1957) brought her stardom, which she repeated in London. Her career is highlighted by starring roles in Bye Bye Birdie, Chicago, Jerry’s Girls and Mr. Wonderful and the original Broadway casts of Guys and Dolls, Can-Can, Seventh Heaven.
