John Kander, Fred Ebb, and Terrence McNally’s 'Kiss of the Spider Woman' arrived at the Broadhurst Theatre in 1993, running for an astonishing 904 performances and sweeping seven major Tony Awards including Best Musical. Set inside a grim, sterile maximum-security prison cell in a brutal Latin American dictatorship, the intense musical drama tracks Molina, a flamboyant gay window dresser incarcerated for morals charges, and Valentin, a fierce Marxist revolutionary prisoner, who forge an unbreakable bond as Molina uses the musical silver-screen fantasies of film star Aurora to escape their torture. Directed by Harold Prince, it starred Chita Rivera.
