- At the 2016 edition of Broadway Backwards, Chita Rivera performed a razzle-dazzle performance of Kander and Ebb’s “All I Care About is Love” from Chicago. Following prolonged cheers, whistles and applause when she appeared, Rivera delivered an unforgettable take on smarmy lawyer Billy Flynn, surrounded by a bevy of feathery beauties, many from the original 1996 Chicago revival cast: Nili Bassman, Mindy Cooper, Mamie Duncan-Gibbs, Gabriela Garcia, Mary Ann Lamb, Dana Moore and Solange Sandy.
Broadway Backwards, the annual Broadway extravaganza celebrating the LGBTQ+ community through the great songs of musical theater, returns to Broadway’s New Amsterdam Theatre on Monday, March 13, 2023. The beloved evening and its star-studded cast will embrace love and self-expression in true Broadway fashion.

The sold-out audience at Broadway’s Al Hirschfeld Theatre was dazzled Monday, March 21, 2016, by this year’s stirring edition of Broadway Backwards (#broadwaywaybackwards). The annual celebration, where men sing songs originally written for women and vice versa offering this audience the chance to see LGBT stories told through the great songs of musical theatre, set a new fundraising record. The evening raised an incredible $480,287 to benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center in New York City.
Broadway Backwards creator Robert Bartley wrote and directed this year’s show, with choreography by Bartley, Al Blackstone, David Bushman, JoAnn M. Hunter and Adam Roberts. Mary-Mitchell Campbell served as music supervisor and Tim Rosser was music director. The creative team included lighting designer Paul Miller, costume designer Matthew J. Kilgore and sound designer Matthew Kraus. The production stage manager was Chris De Camillis.
Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS is one of the nation’s leading industry-based, nonprofit AIDS fundraising and grant-making organizations. By drawing upon the talents, resources and generosity of the American theater community, since 1988 Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS has raised more than $300 million for essential services for people with HIV/AIDS, COVID-19 and other critical illnesses across the United States.
Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS is the major supporter of the social service programs at the Entertainment Community Fund (formerly The Actors Fund), including the HIV/AIDS Initiative, the Phyllis Newman Women’s Health Initiative and The Friedman Health Center for the Performing Arts. Broadway Cares also awards annual grants to more than 450 AIDS and family service organizations in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C., providing lifesaving medication, healthy meals, counseling and emergency assistance.

Unclear.
They need to do a Broadway backwards version of grease lightning
Kassi Savage THIS NEED TO HAPPEN ASAP
Also, There Are Worse Things I Could Do
*Agrees, trying not to look eager*
@Sarah Hamilfan YEAH!
I'd probably die but yes
Wow! Still singing after 65-ish years on the Broadway stage! True, not what it was, but she still has that star quality. (And it looked as though she was thoroughly enjoying herself up there. Great to see.)
Amazing! She was 83 at the time.
My goodness.. what a performer
+Brian Eduardo She's the quintessential performer!
There really is nobody like Chita. The lady can sell it!
Amazing how a 3 minute performance can convey BUCKETS of personality in a performer
When your rich lesbian grandma escapes the nursing home.
I can not stress how underrated this comment is😭😭😂😂😂😂
God I want that to be me in 50 years
@@dakotayork4233 👍😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Aaron Brown: It isn’t just that you’re an a** and the comment reflects that (and you revealed your grandma’s a lesbian in a nursing lesbian) but you don’t know that “Broadway Backwards” presents men and woman singing songs that are performed by the opposite gender in a Broadway show for charity.
This comment is highly underrated.
Rest in peace Chita♥
Happy 85th Birthday Chita Rivera
ok honestly those little feather prop things are so iconic, i want to *have them*
I casually found a 76's Chicago clip. She's doing Jerry Orbach! Just the way he did it! And you know what? That's perfectly fine. It's kind of emotional that she saw him doing this for many nights and now she's channeling the guy, without stopping being the great legend she is.
what an artist, what a career.
still magnificent at 82 !!!
Anytime I think I'm getting too old to do something, I watch this video. Chita Rivera is my spirit animal! ♥️
RIP CHITA❤
I'm just blown away, she's an amazing performer!
REST IN PEACE LEGEND 🤍
Chita's been worn by the years, but she remains fabulous!
THE Grande Dame of Broadway! ageless!!!!
What a gift!. Thank you. This woman is amazing. Such star quality!. And I also loved the whole number.
A fantastic Velma and definitely would be wonderful Billy! If only they casted her in the London revival instead of Cuba Gooding Jr.😁
Shout out to the ensemble tho, they were increible
I'm so in love with Chita I can't stand it. What a voice!
Such charm!! What an amazing performer!
Chita Rivera is EVERYTHING I care about! :o

+banrions mhmm
Great!
Maravillosa!
Can i be her when I grow up?
Dreams can come true!
Here's to a distinguished old lesbian.
where did you hear this wrong info.
@@luisnieves8242 I didn't mean Chita herself, just the "Character" she's playing in the song
Please let her play Billy for a limited season on Broadway!
I saw Gabriela Garcia as Velma Kelly in Düsseldorf in the 1990s. I think she played Hunyak and covered Velma if memory serves. She has played Velma in more countries that most - Germany, Austria, USA, Mexico etc - more than Pia Douwes (Netherlands, UK, USA) I think. Maybe not as many as Amra though.
Jerry Orbach would have gotten a kick out of this
He is!
❤️ I was thinking that.
Richard Gere who?
Luna Varalda there's a video of jerry orbach doing his version on television on youtube somewhere.
I Always! Have !.. Loved🥰 Chita ,!!! BUT ,!!!! This Comcept!!🙄.. of A Granny Lesbian!! Gone Mad !!... WELL !!😫 MAYOR!!!! 😨😱🥵🤮🤮🤮 CRINGE!!!
how much has she been stretched....????? Damn almost makes Carol Channing look younger... ALMOST
Chita has never gotten that kind of surgery, I know her for decades.over 40 years.
Shush.
