Theater Talk: Chita Rivera, still a star at 81

WBFO-FM 88.7 | By Anthony Chase,

Published August 8, 2014 at 6:30 AM EDT

On this week's Theater Talk, Anthony and new co-host Peter Hall talk about the Williamstown Theatre Festival in Massachusetts. Anthony says the audience was so moved by legendary Broadway performer Chita Rivera's dancing that many openly wept. Also, it looks like Kander and Ebb's final musical The Visit might make it to Broadway after 11 years.
