Chita Rivera's one woman show Chita Rivera A Dancer's Life has been scrapped at least for the Denver and LA run. Here is the link to Penny Parker's column announcing it in today's Rocky Mountan News. Scroll down it is near the bottom. I am pretty bummed!

It is. I re-scheduled my New York trip so that I would be here to see her on my birthday. Oh well, I think I will get over it after I see shows in New York!!
Lack of funds? That's insane.
Many posts on this here already last week. Guess you missed them.

I don't think they had announced the Denver cancellation also last week, although I suppose that could have been assumed...

You are correct sir. Denver wasn't announced until yesterday.
Actually the Los Angeles run was cancelled but the Denver show was still on until a couple of days ago

Sorry, you're absolutely right that only the L.A. cancellation had been announced until now. Poor Chita. It would have been a great vehicle for her.
All they have to do is cut out all the nonsense & open it now in NY. It will be a smash if they do that
When I read it I took a double dose of valium, went to bed, and cried.
I've structured the entire 'trip of a lifetime', 'ooooops there goes my inheritance' visit around seeing Chita.
I adore Chita like no other. I can't believe that she would do this to me!
It defies reason that GOD HERSELF cannot get backing.
My consolation prizes are OK. Eartha Kitt is singing at Cafe Carlyle and I've tickets to South Pacific in concert. But I've seen Eartha here [Syd, Aus] and well- South Pacific doesn't have Chita in it.

Chi's Back!!!! Chita's show is back on.
San Diego, California. At the Old Globe Theatre.
Just read that this morning. My friend and I think something fishy is going on! They cancel the tour and re-schedule it within a week. And change venues? This show was already part of our subscriber's season. We thought that if it did end up going into production soon, it would at least play here since it is all over our subscriber's material.
