God bless Gwen Verdon. The kids today will never know the greatness of what I saw, when I saw Gwen Verdon LIVE in the original Sweet Charity. She was THE BEST DANCER EVER.

Gwen Verdon was at least 50 when she did Chicago. She looks great and her dancing is fabulous!

I saw Gwen do Chicago in LA in 1976...what an honor it was. Later I worked with CHita in San Jose. She came and spoke to my kids at school - they were amazed! What an honor.

Watch Gwen & Chita in Hot Honey Rag. (starting 3:47) The movements are so loose, free and with such style! This is why they are considered the best of the past and present!

I am so stunned. I can not believe it, but here I sit watching... I am so amazed. I read the comment about them doing the cartwheel and I did not believe it... But these women look great, very well in shape and happy. Look at the bounce in their steps and the way they kick up their feet. So jovial and youthful. Wonderful. Thanks for sharing this.

WOW!! This is so refreshing. Given that the entertainment industry only celebrates you, it's so refreshing to see these two legends (most definitely not in their '20s @ the time) strut their stuff. If they were still alive they'd win a smackdown against Madonna, Brittany and Beyonce.

Chita was a great dancer. Gwen was a great dancer with "star quality": there's that minuscule extra shrug, twist, contraction, facial expression (or lack thereof) that draws your eye away from Chita again and again even though they're both going for perfect in sync movement. Gwen's obviously not trying for anything extra. Plus there's the natural quirkiness of her face and the red hair . . . not to mention her voice. Chita was the faster dancer; Gwen the stronger, but all that is beside the point; Gwen was a star just standing there doing nothing. Chita fans may disagree, but they'll never convince me otherwise. And they were both past their prime here even though they were still better than anything else around.
