During day one of the Curtain Up Broadway Festival (sponsored by Playbill, The Broadway League, the Times Square Alliance, and Prudential), a host of Broadway stars and special guests were set to celebrate nine decades of Broadway legend Chita Rivera at a special concert in Times Square, September 8. But due to stormy weather conditions, And All That Jazz—A Celebration of Chita Rivera was cancelled. 

But a little rain couldn't send these stars home—instead, several of the dancers made their way to the Playbill office for a special studio photoshoot. They included Alyssa Epstein, Connor McRory, Richard Smith, Alicia Lundgren, RJ Higton, Jessica Lee Goldyn, Ian Klein, Nicolas De La Vega, and Lloyd Culbreath. Check out their photos below.
