Chita Rivera performs "Kiss of the Spider Woman"

Clip: Season 38 Episode 1 | 1m 59s

Chita Rivera reprises a signature song from her star turn in "Kiss of the Spider Woman."

The glorious Chita Rivera performs one of her signature songs in a role she originated and made famous - the title character of the Kander & Ebb musical "Kiss of the Spider Woman." Taking on subjects like political imprisonment and torture, this daring musical was initially judged by critics as a Kander & Ebb misstep, but went on to win the Tony Award.
