I saw this on Broadway with Maria Conchita Alonso. Then later when it toured with chita! Was fantastic!!!

I saw this when it toured to San Francisco. And Chita was the lead in the touring cast. Watching her move at to her age and after her near fatal car accident was amazing.

This show needs and deserves to be revived! An amazing score!

Who would you cast as Aurora ?

OK, I am in tears!. I've seen this phenomenal show live onstage only one time and it was the national tour with Chita Rivera and I just don't recall reacting this strongly to it then as I have today. At multiple points, I cried my eyes out and I'm no crier!! It's as if I've never seen it before and when I was in high school I discovered the cast recording so I knew the show inside out by the time I saw it. I don't recall disliking it but I do recall thinking it was not as good as I had expected. The production and cast were amazing, especially Chita. I got her autograph after the show and told her I love her as Anita in West Side Story and she said "Oh, that was wayyy back then before you were ever thought of" mocking her own age. We laughed and she got into her awaiting limo. I also got Merle Louise' autograph as well. Both she and Chita were so incredibly nice and approachable. I will never forget that moment. I don't know if it's age (I'm 45 now) but all I know is I saw a new musical today. It mght as well be because it didn't have nearly as big an impact on me as it did today. You know when you feel such a strong rush of emotion it makes you almost appear as if you're like sneezing but holding it in multiple times? Well, that's how I got during the final tango. My cat was just staring at me like, "Oh gosh, you humans are soooo annoooooooying."

A chance for me to live again one of the best shows I was ever associated with. Chita is the best. The production was sublime.

I remember seeing this commercial all the time growing up and always wondered what it was like so glad I found this on KZread

man i would do anything to see this live!! rest in peace, brent carver and chita rivera❤❤❤

Brilliant! I saw "Spiderwoman" live on stage near the end of the Broadway engagement, when the role of Aurora was being performed by an actress I didn't know, and found the show incredibly dull. This version is sheer genius, thanks mainly to Chita and director Harold Prince.

What a great musical. RIP Brent Carver.

beautiful production including a beautiful man ! love Brent Carver :)

Thank you so much for this. I have loved this show since I was a teen. I also saw the national tour with Chita and have only had the cast album to relive it all these years. Thank you for the great memories. 💋 🕷️ 🕸️ RIP Chita and Brent.

After the announcement that this will finally get the Hollywood film treatment with Jennifer Lopez as Aurora, I had to rewatch this! I am sooooo excited for the movie version since this is literally my all-time favorite musical. What a phenomenal score and what a fenomenal cast!!!

maybe she'll get indicted with P. Diddy and then it can be like a life imitating art thing :)

Thank you so much for uploading a higher quality version with closed captions! I love this show so much but it’s so hard to show it to people because of how bad the audio is in the most circulated copy, thank you again

No problem! Thanks for the comment!

WOW, have been waiting for an upload of the entire play. Thank you 🙏 thank you❗️

Thank you so much for this. Its so wonderful i could see this Show and this cast again.❤

Thanks!! The best video I've seen. I saw Chita in the tour I guess around 1995 as a teen and it blew me away--I always wondered if many changes were made between London and Broadway (I don't think so...) Beautiful job integrating the b-roll.

Come…. Have been missing from both of the original broadway recordings … not sure why. It has been difficult to find on the web until now. Come, ... I am the answer Come, ... I can stop the pain Come, ... I am the rainbow that follows the rain..... Come and give me Your caress, yes is my answer Yes, YES, YES..... Come, ... I'm the solution Come, ... an everlasting rest Come and place your head on my beloved breast Come, ... I am the answer Come, ... I can STOP THE PAIN! Come, ... I am the rainbow that follows the rain..... Come ... AND FIND me! HEAR...... my song! LET ME ... hold you HERE! WHERE you belong Come! ..... COME.......!

This is so amazing, both the show itself and the edit. I hope I can see it live someday.

Thank u so much for uploading ! This is one the most theatrical and stunning musicals ever! Love this so much ❤️

RIP CHITA RIVERA, 91 1/30/24 🎭💃🎭

I saw the Londen production but Bebe Neuwirth was playing Aurora

Magnificent!

This is going to make a weird movie. I don't know about Jennifer Lopez in Chita's part. She can sing for sure, but it's a different vibe then the pop music she does. But Bill Condon is a good film director.

It will depend on whether the director can handle the juxtaposition between the fantasy world of Molina and the gritty, cruel reality of Valentin's world. It's also going to depend a LOT on the unknown actor playing Molina. He carries the show. Hopefully he and Diego Luna can sing. But yeah, not sure Lopez has the depth to pull Aurora off. She's mostly known for fighting with Ben Affleck.
