About the Show

A new musical about the life of Hollywood superstar Rita Hayworth.

Named the “Love Goddess” by her legion of fans, Rita Hayworth was Hollywood's darling in the 1940s & 50s. However, she struggled with the image that the media portrayed of her, going through 5 divorces in her search for a man who loved her for her. As her story unfolds, we meet Orson Welles, Fred Astaire, Harry Cohn, and the other extraordinary people who populated her life, as well as the struggle she faced with a deteriorating memory caused by Alzheimer’s.
Featuring original music by composer-lyricist & Broadway pianist, Logan Medland, and jazz, tap, and Flamenco dance sequences.
