She truly is the last of the living legends! I first saw her live on the opening night of BAJOUR in 1964, and I was so excited I nearly fell out of my first row balcony seat at the Shubert. 40 years later, as Board Chair, I had the honor of presenting her with a SAGE (Services and Advocacy for GLBTQ+ Elders) Lifetime Achievement Award.
She is the best! Many, many happy returns!

A living legend, a living theater legend, and most importantly a living PUERTO RICAN legend!
A very happy belated birthday to one of my queens.

This is still a few months off but I wanted to mention that my bookstore is hosting an event with Chita in conversation with Harvey Fierstein in Poughkeepsie on April 30. The venue is walkable from the Poughkeepsie Amtrak/MetroNorth station, and a signed copy of her memoir is included with each ticket. https://www.oblongbooks.com/event/chita-rivera-harvey-fierstein-bardavon
