Chita Rivera brings her life story to the Carnival Center – Miami
Tagged: Chita Rivera, Florida, latina, Miami“Her given name — Dolores Conchita Figueroa del Rivero — would never have fit easily on a Broadway marquee.
But the name shes made legendary over a career spanning more than half a century? That one sings. And dances.
Chita Rivera has done many things in her uncommonly long performing life as a dancer and Broadway star. She has won two Tony Awards and been nominated for seven more. In 2002, she became the first Hispanic woman celebrated at the Kennedy Center Honors. She is, said her longtime friend and sometime director Harold Prince, “the last of a line of what they used to call divas . . . Theres nobody like Chita. Shes a force of life.”
