Reri is one of those rare specimens of women that should be cloned, if the technology and times would permit such breakthrough... her legacy shouldn't be forgotten. She's such an inspiration, she made me cry...

i remember in the early 90's when NPR announced that Larry Kert, the actor who originated the roll of Tony in WSS had passed away from AIDS they ended the segment with this song........ still makes me cry thinking about it.

thank you for posting this.

In the original 1957 production this was sung by Consuelo (Reri Grist). See also Reri Grist's original 1957 recording of this song here on Youtube. Only later it was changed into a duet for Tony and Maria.

When in the show did she sing this? i looked online and it only mentioned tony and maria singing it together...does it happen offstage?
