In 1960, Chita Rivera and Dick Van Dyke co-starred as Rosie and Albert in the original Broadway production of Bye Bye Birdie. This week, the pair was reunited when Van Dyke appeared as a special guest in Chita Rivera: The Dancer's Life for four performances only. On Tuesday night, the reunion was celebrated with an after-party at Tony's DiNapoli restaurant on West 43rd Street. Here are Chita and Dick, all aglow.
