The Chita Rivera Award for Outstanding Choreography in a Broadway Show is an annual award presented to a choreographer for their work on a Broadway production. The award has been presented since the awards inception in 1982, as the Fred and Adele Astaire Awards. Michael Bennet was the inaugural winner for his work in A Chorus Line.
The award was separated from Off-Broadway productions, which received its own category, in 2017, when the awards were renamed in honor of Chita Rivera.[1]
Susan Stroman holds the record for most wins, with five, followed by Bill T. Jones with three. Sergio Trujillo and Warren Carlyle have each received eight nominations, the most of any other choreographer.
