Mother (Chita Rivera) selling skating rink. Daughter (Liza Minnelli) comes home to whine about how she didn't get any love and how dare mama sell the rink. Original cast included Jason Alexander and Scott Ellis.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Chita's character was supposed to be Italian, but she seemed about as Italian as a tamale.

Also don't forget that Stockard Channing, Mary Testa and Rob Marshall were also part of the show. Channing took over for Minnelli. Testa was Minnelli understudy (I couldn't make that up) and Marshall understudied the male ensemble roles.

I sat in the front row and could not hear Liza at all. Neither could my friend. No joke.
