Profile for AAO26

I'm aware at her failed Broadway attempt years back...Could she pull of playing Aurora in Kiss? She can dance, she can sing (a little), she does very well in live performances- that tend to be very theatrical.... BTW Chita is and will be Aurora for ever..... Thoughts?

if the marketing team had done a fantastic job, the show would be sold-out...

happy to report that i just got home from an amazing night at "The Visit"- my first "visit" to the broadway piece- but i've seen all the previous regional iterations. 1. packed house 2. chita had everyone on the palm of her hands 3. funny & dark at the same time- as life 4. engaging from beginning to end- the pace of the show was perfect 5. all changes have been for the best 6. brilliant show.. 7. going back again...

Newsday - The Visit - Review + RAVE "The Visit" is a haunting, haunted knot of Expressionist storytelling, a masterly 100-minute powerhouse with liltingly gruesome songs that create their own macabre world unlike anything onstage in recent memory." "Then there is Rivera, with her steely, gravelly voice and the resolve of a character who says, "I am unkillable." We dare you to take your eyes off her."

http://britishtheatre.com/review-the-visit-lyceum-theatre-5stars/ "And for 90 minutes of ecstatic storytelling, you are transported to a place where love, death and consequence are dancing together and where a victory for true love might just not be what you first think it will."
