On the morning of March 13, The Visit stars Chita Rivera and Roger Rees joined producer Tom Kirdahy, Swiss Ambassador André Schaller, and his wife, Brigitte Schaller, at the Swiss Residence for a breakfast event celebrating the musical's upcoming Broadway premiere.

The Visit, which is scheduled to begin performances at the Lyceum Theatre on March 26, is based on the satirical play by beloved Swiss author Friedrich Dürrenmatt as adapted by Maurice Valency. One of the final musicals of the legendary songwriting pair John Kander and Fred Ebb, the story follows Claire Zachanassian (Chita Rivera), the richest woman in the world, when she returns to the hardship-stricken town of her birth.
