Something to look forward to for Spring:
"BROADWAY legend Chita Rivera, following a path blazed a few seasons back by Elaine Stritch, is putting together an autobiographical show of her own.
Called "A Dancer's Life," it charts Rivera's 50-year career in the theater, and features anecdotes and songs from many of the famous shows in which she has appeared — "Can-Can," "West Side Story," "Bye, Bye Birdie" and "Chicago."
Rivera performed the show last week for a handful of potential backers, and the word is that it went so well, she and her producer, Marty Bell, shouldn't have any trouble raising the $3.5 million or so needed to bring it to Broadway, possibly in the spring."
