Chita Rivera & Gwen Verdon: Nowadays / Hot Honey Rag

Chita and Gwen perform an iconic moment in broadway history: The original Chicago Finale, choreographed by Bob Fosse, performed in 1975 on the Howard Cosell show. This was Gwen's last role on broadway, and is one of Chita's greatest stage triumphs.

Damn, at 50 yrs old Gwen did better than most young performers who portray Roxie Hart. R.I.P Gwen Verdon, we all miss your bright smile and positive outlooks toward life.

Yeah, you are missing something. The dancing in the movie that CZJ and RZ did was shot in about a hundred takes, shuffled around, and edited. It's not done all in one piece, which takes real dancers like Chita and Gwen. You've been brought up on video, which is selected pieces of film put together later. You don't seem able to tell the difference between a whole dance number and confetti.

Thumbs up if you came here after watching "Chicago' the movie.

This person is trying to be respectful. Why all the downvotes? They are clearly trying to learn. I'm sorry, ronhisap, that people here are being so rude.
