Next Chita Guest Star

Well, the first grouping would be kinda hard to book.

I still fail to see why this is categorized as a musical when its constantly changing like this. If this isn't a Special Event, I don't know what is.

Question..if this is a musical....
Is Chita eligible for Best Actress?

sorry..didn't see the whole other thread...I posted my thoughts there.

---

I was really confused for a little while, but wow do I want to see dead people!

---

If they can't get Lilo, Donald O'Connor and Doug Henning, I'm not going.

Yeah, speaking of Bajour, was it even mentioned in Chita's show? You get a full number from Seventh Heaven, but I can't remember if she ever brought up the subject of Bajour. I wouldn't have minded hearing "I'm Mean" or "Love Line". Or if she had any memory of Michael Bennett dancing in the chorus.

---

Chita does mention Anyanka in Bajour in passing. I was listening for it, and I almost missed it because she sort of mumbled through that line.

Or Merlin or Zenda.

I smell sequel..."Chita Rivera: A Flop Queen's Life"

the night i was there last week she mentioned both merlin and bring back birdie

seeing dick van dyke and chita on stage was amazing - i'd love to see them bring in more old time classic broadway and entertainment legends....especially the dead ones!!

Just don't call Chita, Miss Bird's Eye because...well you guys know this already.

I don't think Chita is all that fond of Liza. She made a couple of not-so-nice comments regarding The Rink ("Liza wanted to prove to herself...and her fans...that she could do something other than 'Liza With A Z'", "Nobody wanted to see Liza in a housedress. Me they had no trouble seeing in a housedress, but not her", "Finally they brought in Halston to design two red dresses for the finale but it didn't help").

Why not Elaine Stritch? They did Call Me Madam together. Or is Stritch running the risk of becoming overexposed?

Carol Lawrence from West Side Story?

Jason Alexander, also from The Rink?

Aurthur Laurents, who wrote the book for West Side Story?

Rather than just doing a song and dance, I'd love to have Chita and her guest pull up a couple of stools and dish the dirt. Who wouldn't have loved to hear Chita and Dick tell a juicy Paul Lynde or Kay Medford story?

Hushpuppy! Those are some wonderful choices.

In the Golden Days (and even post golden era) some musicals were never really "frozen." Directors and choreographers would make exceptions for new stars. Fosse did it a lot. CHICAGO got MANY changes when Liza joined. In the old days that never stopped a show from being nominated for major Tonys. Chita's show is bringing back vibes and feelings of the old days with all of this. It's a wonderful feeling. As she says in the show. who needs helicopters and chanderleirs on stage? (and let me add flying witches) This is SOOO much more exciting. The human body is much more exciting.

Foster you come off more hostile and hopeful to see the show fail, than a Chita fan.
