Chita Rivera (the original Anita in "West Side Story") shares her impressions of the show and its composer, Leonard Bernstein. A video by Jonathan Estabrooks for WNYC.
I could listen to her reminisce about West Side for hours and hours. I wonder what she would say about Jerome Robbins? Anyway, thank you so much; this musical is a passion of mine.
I had the great fortune of meeting Miss Chita Rivera while working at a music theatre in the mid-1970s. Her character Anita was very passionate and sexy. What a sweet and gracious lady and talented beyond words. What she says about Leonard Bernstein is so touching and true. Thank you so much for this. It's a gem!
Chita performed here in Perth, Australia Monday 20th June 2011, an amazing performer
