Broadway legend Chita Rivera was supposed to speak about her memoir Chita: A Memoir at the New York Public Library of Performing Arts yesterday, but the 90-year-old had to cancel.
The NYPL wrote, “Unfortunately, Chita Rivera has tested positive for COVID, and will be unable to attend our panel discussion on Monday, September 18. We will follow up to all who have signed up for the event if we have any updates in the future. We hope to schedule a new date for this event.
“In the meantime, please keep Chita Rivera in your thoughts. We hope to see you soon at the Library for the Performing Arts.”
Hopefully, she will be better soon and not suffer any lingering effects from the virus.
