Rename a Broadway Theater for the legendary Chita Rivera

The Issue

Despite the countless contributions of our community, of the 41 active theaters on Broadway, not a single one is named after a Latin Artist. 

Chita Rivera not only defined the term Broadway Legend, but was the torch bearer for the Latin Broadway community for seven decades. 

Naming one of Broadway's theaters after her, forever keeps her legend alive and allows our community a space to (finally) call home on the Great Bright Way!

Specific Theaters like the Broadhurst, Ambassador and the Broadway Theater (all Shubert Organization owned houses) could provide this massive honor and overdue moment for this legend and for the Latin Community.
