  • Agreed on Rita Moreno. Superb. I am confused by your opinion about the character. Are you suggesting that "putting on an act" in the face of poor working conditions will make life more joyful? For whom? Look again for Rita's dripping irony you might have missed. Studs, like Barbara Ehrenreich, marvels at how workers sanely cope with mistreatment. He certainly does not suggest that they should "know their place" in the social/economic order. The song is a call for reform, not for the status quo.

  • This was the BEST version of this scene, ever! Rita, you are a treasure and a delight, always. Absolutely perfect. Thank you for this post. That was ART!

  • oh I like this version of Dolores. My school's doing Working this spring and I'm thinking of auditioning for this part. Thanks for the inspiration!

  • The glasses on those guests! Thank god that style isn't around anymore. There's my glasses than face.

  • I just got cast in this role! I'm really psyched! I think Rita's subtlety is cool and effective but I'm hoping to be allowed to play it bigger and more theatrically. XD

  • where can i see working online?

  • @emokidrul lucky!! I was one of the waitresses in the background my freshmen year in high school like in 2006! it's a great song!

  • i get to play this character in the musical this year :DD

  • @earlgrey4show Nemetz was great. I have loved her for ages. She deserved to be a MAJOR star.

  • Rita is good, but the artist this song was written for and who originated the role (Lenora Nemetz, drama desk nom.) is really untouchable. I wish there was a video of her doing this number.

  • fabulosa .. simplemente grandiosa.

  • cute song Love Rita
