Chita Rivera on The Visit

"The Visit is about to open at Williamstown and Chita Rivera and Roger are interviewed by the Boston Globe on the piece and appearing at Williamstown.


“We’re finding more and more that it’s funny and dramatic at exactly the same time, which is like all the great plays,” says Rees, who plays Anton. “The pizzazz that you expect from a musical has been allowed to shatter a little bit, and underneath you see what makes the human heart tick, and the selfishness and the hypocrisy of that. That’s what’s wonderful for the audience, to be near something that’s like a piece of Chekhov.”
