Wow! Still singing after 65-ish years on the Broadway stage! True, not what it was, but she still has that star quality. (And it looked as though she was thoroughly enjoying herself up there. Great to see.)
I casually found a 76's Chicago clip. She's doing Jerry Orbach! Just the way he did it! And you know what? That's perfectly fine. It's kind of emotional that she saw him doing this for many nights and now she's channeling the guy, without stopping being the great legend she is.
Aaron Brown: It isn’t just that you’re an a** and the comment reflects that (and you revealed your grandma’s a lesbian in a nursing lesbian) but you don’t know that “Broadway Backwards” presents men and woman singing songs that are performed by the opposite gender in a Broadway show for charity.
I saw Gabriela Garcia as Velma Kelly in Düsseldorf in the 1990s. I think she played Hunyak and covered Velma if memory serves. She has played Velma in more countries that most - Germany, Austria, USA, Mexico etc - more than Pia Douwes (Netherlands, UK, USA) I think. Maybe not as many as Amra though.
how am i supposed to listen to any other version of this song now
Unclear.
They need to do a Broadway backwards version of grease lightning
Kassi Savage THIS NEED TO HAPPEN ASAP

@Sarah Hamilfan YEAH!
I'd probably die but yes

Amazing! She was 83 at the time.
My goodness.. what a performer
+Brian Eduardo She's the quintessential performer!
There really is nobody like Chita. The lady can sell it!
Amazing how a 3 minute performance can convey BUCKETS of personality in a performer
Happy 85th Birthday Chita Rivera

This comment is highly underrated.
Anytime I think I'm getting too old to do something, I watch this video. Chita Rivera is my spirit animal! ♥️
Chita…. la Única👏👏👏👏👏👏

What a gift!. Thank you. This woman is amazing. Such star quality!. And I also loved the whole number.
I'm so in love with Chita I can't stand it. What a voice!
THE Grande Dame of Broadway! ageless!!!!
Such charm!! What an amazing performer!
Shout out to the ensemble tho, they were increible
A fantastic Velma and definitely would be wonderful Billy! If only they casted her in the London revival instead of Cuba Gooding Jr.😁
Chita's been worn by the years, but she remains fabulous!
Chita Rivera is EVERYTHING I care about! :o

Here's to a distinguished old lesbian.
where did you hear this wrong info.
@@luisnieves8242 I didn't mean Chita herself, just the "Character" she's playing in the song
Please let her play Billy for a limited season on Broadway!
Can i be her when I grow up?
Dreams can come true!

Jerry Orbach would have gotten a kick out of this

Richard Gere who?
Luna Varalda there's a video of jerry orbach doing his version on television on youtube somewhere.
