Chita Rivera’s Greatest Performances (Available Online)


Rivera died on January 30, but she has 58 years of Broadway performances to celebrate.

Unfortunately for mourning fans of Rivera’s, her career existed largely on the stage, meaning it is nigh impossible to revisit her greatest works in their full glory. In a white top hat and suit — seemingly not bound by the gravity that holds the rest of us down — she plays out the fantasy of an imprisoned gay man, Molina, as he tries to escape the horrors around him. Although only low-quality recordings of the performance survive today, each visible pixel represents the indomitable posture and remarkable skill of a true star.
