RITA: MORE THAN A MEMORY
now in development

RITA: More Than A Memory, a new musical about Hollywood star Rita Hayworth and her battle with progressive Alzheimer's disease, is in development with New York Theatre Barn.

 

The musical, being written by Bettina Covo and Cheryl Stern, explores the toll that such a misunderstood disease took on Hayworth's life, and Hollywood's erasure of Hayworth's Spanish heritage and identity throughout her career.
