A very fun exercise on Thursday’s Facebook had Chita Rivera — Broadway doyenne, empress and icon, a queen of the art of song-and-dance — chattering on line in a PBS-hosted forum with (among others) Grover Dale of Answers4Dancers with whom she performed in the original production of West Side Story.
Chita’s words strike me as not just helpful and human but the words of a sincerely wise woman.
Can’t wait to experience her magic tomorrow night on Great Performances.
