Chita Rivera: Pretty For Me on the Hollywood Palace
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 сер 2007
- Chita Rivera and the campiest collection of male dancers this side of the Village People sing and dance this super fun go-go number on a 1968 installment of the Hollywood Palace. Watch out for Chita's wardrobe change....a one-take spectacular!
Can anyone identify the dancers or choreographer?

This is where the Village People got their inspiration from!
Rest in Power, Chita.
My god its a drag act from the Midnight Shift in Sydney
You see the way Don looks at Chita at 0:09? Gives me chills every time!
This is SPECTACULAR! They dont do them like this any more??
Yes, that's Don Chricton!!
Don is a nice guy talented and still with us now April 2022. 👏🙏🎵🎶📽️🥰
@zzindorf The song "Pretty" was written by the great American Arranger Bob Florence. Jack Jones introduced the song on his 1967 RCA Victor album "Live For Life".
Gay or straight, they're perfect, and Don is the greatest. What a dancer and sweetheart of a guy.
Chita is phenomenal and she had the craziest routines ! The guy with the gold chains around his waste was so beyond extra 😂
That was the style then
I adore the low-tech costume change!
boy i like her dancing ... west side story grooves
Mama puts the chorus boys through their paces. 😁
The male dancers are HAWTTT!
I agree
thats a cool song and great bit of dancing
HOW !!😅😅😅😅😅😅 VILLAGE PEOPLE !..😁! QUEER !!!!!
Man was this funny, refreshing and cool!!
So many wonderful steps, use of the head and chest beats, wonderful vocabulary, freedom, passion, HOT HOT HOT, the flavor of 68-88 (when B.H. left NYC, last of the HOT mama dancers.) I wonder who wrote the song? David Winters did a tremendous amount of choreography, he has a website, I think, and he did most of the tv variety shows and celebrity specials.
Jack Cole was the beginning of it all.
Now, why aren't more baby boomer dancers who did this stuff teaching? Is Jaime Rogers the only one?
too cool
0:19 Don Crichton and 0:34 Stan Mazin are the dancers
Oh? Do you happen to know who the guy is at 0:47?
@@jamessheridan4306 im not sure sorry, i know Don and Stan from the Carol Burnett Show
@@DolphinGamez12 Looked this episode up at IMDb sometime ago. There were only three guys listed as "dancer." Can't remember third name.
@@jamessheridan4306 this is from season 6 episode 8, which only has Don and Stan credited as the male dancers, but Chita is also credited as a dancer so that may be who ur thinking of
Peter Gennaro was the house choreographer for the Hollywood Palace, and given all the strutting walks, my vote is for him. Who wrote the song?
IMDB lists Buddy Schwab, Ron Field, and DeeDee Wood/Marc Breaux as choreographers for her episodes. My guess is Ron Field did the song Blue.
Baby, where have you been?
John-Niles of California
Mommy? Can I be pretty for Chita?
Oh dear, Chita. They're not being pretty for YOU.
That guy in the flares with all the chains around his neck looks like Boyd Rice.
The fantastic Don Critchton.
Who was played by none other than Dave Thomas of SCTV
John Niles- wasnt she great at RRazz Room??
what year?
You must not have been from that era then.
love her outfit,especially the boots;Very sexy and over the top!!!
It's hard to beleive that the public went for this stuff? It was considered ok then I imagine. Its a scream now, early Village People as the dancers indeed. Too scary!
LMAO, She looked amazing, but those male? dancers... :-/ Yeeks... lol.
Oh Chita, I don't think they're looking pretty for you or any lady for that matter! :)
Chita Rivera has worked in the theater for decades, she pretty much knew already, even fifty years ago. 😎
There was no need for that comment, that was pretty stupid
My guess is that Jerome Robbins did the Choerography. Interesting fact is how similar the Rob Marshal choerography fom Spider Woman is to this.
Not at all. David Winter is the most likely.
She did the weirdest dance routines, totally wacky stuff.
Gay! Gay! Gay!
