Exactly!

0:58 "Very simply, there was then, and is now, nobody who could dance, sing, and act like Chita Rivera." Wow.

Gorgeous glamorous and Uber talented! This was a fantastic tribute! A national treasure for the ages! TY Chita!

RIP Chita Rivera (January 23, 1933 - January 30, 2024), aged 91 You will be remembered as a legend.

OMG!! In tears sêing thêse beautiful performances!! You are so loved, Chita!! RIHP Broadway Queen!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

No one has stage presence or charisma like Chita. Add to that her incredible voice and acting? Utterly unbelievable. Even just listening to her on cast recordings, I believe every word that she says or sings. She is a one of a kind diva, one of the last of a dying breed. God bless her.

It's so rare that a dancer can become truly iconic.... Sylvie Guillem, Fonteyn, Kelly. Chita Rivera is pure electricity. She is astonishing. We all salute you...

NAME A BROADWAY THEATER AFTER DIVA CHITA RIVERA!!!

You will be always missed Chita ✨

RIP Ms. Chita ♥️✊🏾🙏🏾🕯

I live this clip. And certainly shows why she was miss broadway. And how she would have been out of this world in the film Bye Bye Birdie ❤

Wonderful! This was one I hadn't seen yet of the Broadway greats.

Blessed to have been able to see her in person! That’s talent!

RIP Ms. Rivera

La primera artista de origen latino que fue homenajeada en Kennedy Center honor!!! Te extrañaremos Dolores Conchita Figuero del Rivero.

The greatest. What a magnificent, well-deserved honor.

RIP CHITA!!!!!!

Loved her and seeing this again with Chita high kick and leg extensions it made me recall how she would jokingly say " it kinda wants to make your leg go up." 😂 Nithing but happy memories of meeting her back in the 70s.❤ Shell always have a place in our hearts💘

I fell in love with Chita Rivera as a kid when I saw a clip of her dancing in West Side Story on a PBS program. The Electricity in that performance came right through the TV screen and gave me shivers up and down my spine! Since the I would scan TV guide looking for more programs of that nature hoping for another glimpse of that incredible talent. Living in California, I have only been able to see her once live on Broadway in "The Rink". Any chance to see her, even a clip on KZread is a treat. Thank-you for posting.

She was the best of the best. May she rest in peace.

She's amazing!

I was watching Sweet Charity last week. So i thought i come here. Always loved the Dance At the Gym choreography

the best of the U.S.! Great program, through the ages, uplifts, inspires, fantastic talent. Love it!

Miss ya, Hal. Love ya, Garth. 💐

This legend still looks the same today

Rest in peace Chita Rivera!

Excellent tribute!

Thanks for uploading!!!!

The processing makes me want to cry. 'specially at 12:41.

Proving that some Chitas do prosper!

Hermoso

As incredible as Charlotte is as a dancer and actress........you’re going to tell me they couldn’t find an Hispanic actress, dancer, to play Anita for this Broadway production? Just ridiculous!!

Amen. And as wonderful as Debbie Allen was in the revival, they should have cast a Latina. I am not happy that the two female leads in the film of West Side Story are only part Latina.

Exactly! Sidebar, Debbie was divine, but yes, Charlotte for this role on this stage was to me an insult. The dancer should have been Latina or some ethnicity for sure. Charlotte doesn’t even really shine in this role. If it’s chorus line, we’ll call her.

Awesome. This was awesome to see. P.S. I think I've been conditioned into thinking someone has passed away whenever you post something, and I get nervous now.

RIP

Soooo was Rita Moreno busy? There was no latina actress to pay tribute?
