82 and still kickin'! Happy birthday, Chita!
Felicidades to La Chita! Orgullo Boricua!
One of the most beloved stars ever! And still going strong in her 7th decade of Broadway kick-assing!
Also that performance of "I Got Plenty 'O Nothin'" is just everything! The hair, the outfit, the set, the arrangement, and the DANCING!
What an incredible woman. Happy Birthday!

One in a million! So happy you were born, Chita!
We thought we were the luckiest guys in the world the summer Chita was the headliner on our Atlantis Baltic Cruise back in 2008. The lady was phenomenal then. And she was phenomenal on a followup Atlantis cruise we took in 2011. Watching her from the front row was to witness one of the great performances of our theatergoing lifetimes. And of course she sang a song or two from THE VISIT at each of those shows. Goosebumps.
So thrilled she'll back on Broadway with her beloved VISIT in a couple more months. We should all be so lucky to live a life like this lady lives hers.
