Actor, dancer and singer Rita Moreno, who has appeared in West Side Story and Singin' in the Rain, will visit the University of Central Arkansas later this month, school officials said.

Tickets for the Oct. 23 event at the Reynolds Performance Hall can be purchased for $15 online or at the venue's box office.

Over her 70-year career, Moreno has won an Emmy for her work on The Muppet Show, an Oscar for her role as Anita on West Side Story, a Tony for her comedic role as Googie Gomez on Broadway's The Ritz, and a Grammy for her performance on "The Electric Company" children's album.

She is one of only 12 living artists to have won all four entertainment awards.

The Puerto Rican-born performer also appeared in Hollywood classics Singin’ in the Rain starring Gene Kelly and The King and I.

Today, Moreno has a recurring role in the Latino remake of the sitcom One Day at a Time on Netflix. Prior to that, she guest-starred on Jane The Virgin, Grey’s Anatomy and Grace and Frankie.
