Description: This is a rare 2015 promotional DVD from PBS. It contains the full program of Chita Rivera, A lot of livin' to do. Sealed, mint condition. Dick Van Dyke, John Kander, Carol Lawrence, Ben Vereen, and other luminaries pay tribute to the dynamic Broadway singer, dancer, and actress Anita in “West Side Story.” Rosie in “Bye Bye Birdie.” Velma in “Chicago.” Those are just some of the iconic roles created by the incredible Chita Rivera. The Broadway legend has been lighting up Broadway and international stages for over 70 years. With originating roles in a host of other iconic Broadway shows including “Mr. Wonderful,” “The Rink,” “Bajour,” and “Kiss of the Spider Woman,” and major revivals of “Nine,” “The Mystery of Edwin Drood,” and numerous others, Rivera was also a frequent guest star during the Golden Age of Television variety specials. In 2002, she became the first female honoree of Hispanic-American heritage to be feted at the Kennedy Center Honors, and in 2009, she was presented with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. This past season, Ms. Rivera returned to Broadway’s Lyceum Theatre in a Tony-nominated starring role in “The Visit,” the final collaboration of the legendary songwriting team of John Kander and the late Fred Ebb with playwright Terrence McNally. Chita Rivera: A Lot of Livin’ to Do, the 60-minute career retrospective – featuring interviews, archival performance footage, and newly filmed songs from Rivera’s concert repertoire including such numbers as “A Boy Like That,” “America,” “A Lot of Livin’ to Do,” “All That Jazz,” and “Nowadays” The night of the taping, Broadway shows and, indeed, most of New York City shut down in preparation for the blizzard predicted to be one of the City’s worst winter storms ever. This did not deter the Broadway icon or her musicians from braving the elements and giving an electrifying performance. Before a packed audience at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s The Appel Room in the Time Warner Center, against a winter wonderland backdrop of Central Park and Columbus Circle, the two-time Tony Award winner performs signature moments from her legendary career including a special tribute to her dear friends John Kander, Fred Ebb and Terrence McNally.
