Aly Mang Instagram – 🕊️ In honor and memory of the legendary, iconic, multifaceted triple-threat, CHITA RIVERA! 💔🔥💃🏻
One of my most memorable & meaningful on-stage performances was having the opportunity to wear her costume (from “Anything Goes”) @papermillplayhouse
I was 15… It was one of my first leading dance numbers and I remember saying prayers backstage that I wouldn’t trip, forget my steps and wished that her explosive, yet smooth and easy performance magic would rub off on me… It was such an honor to perform in the very same costume and stand on the very same stage as her 🙏🏼🙌🏻⚡️
I will always be grateful for her inspiration & impression early-on in my acting (& brief dancing) journey.
✨ May the lights of Broadway & Off-Broadway shine brighter in her memory! ✨
( Strange coincidence my sister JUST sent me this video to see on my Birthday 🥹🕊️)
