It's Chita's Birthday!

Happy Birthday to Chita Rivera! I'm not going to say how old she is, but she's a diamond in the crown of musical theatre history, and she looks nowhere near her age. Granted, she's a big part of the reason Patti lost the Tony in 2006, but I won't hold that against her, she's immensely talented and had a wonderful career, and if the Tony Nominating Committee wanted to inappropriately use the Leading Actress category to recognize that fact, the blame rests squarely on them. Happy Birthday Chita, may there be many more performances, and maybe another Tony award in your future.
