Tickets are now available to see the legendary two-time Tony winner Chita Rivera and Tony winner Roger Rees in The Visit on Broadway. Directed by John Doyle and choreographed by Graciela Daniele, the musical will begin previews on March 26 at the Lyceum Theatre. Opening night is set for April 23.
John Kander and Fred Ebb’s The Visit is based on the classic Friedrich Dürrenmatt play (adapted by Maurice Valency) and features a book by Terrence McNally, with music by Kander and lyrics by Ebb. Claire Zachanassian is an often-widowed millionairess who pays a visit to her hardship-stricken birthplace. The locals hope she’ll bring them a new lease on life, but little do they know her offer to revitalize the town comes at a dreadful price.
The production will also feature Jason Danieley, Matthew Deming, Diana Dimarzio, David Garrison, Rick Holmes, Tom Nelis, Chris Newcomer, Aaron Ramey, Timothy Shew and Michelle Veintimilla.
