Ms. Rivera made her debut as a principal dancer in the tour of Call Me Madam, but it was her electric performance as Anita in the Broadway premiere of West Side Story, which brought her stardom in 1957. Her legendary performances in the original Broadway productions of Chicago, Kiss of the Spider Woman, Bye Bye Birdie, and The Rink garnered her two Tony Awards and seven nominations.
