When Mary Stuart Masterson and John Stamos stopped in this week to see Chita Rivera in her musical memoir
The Dancer's Life did they suddenly burst into a chorus of "The Bells of St. Sebastian"? Actually, they didn't. (Sorry.) But if they had, it would have been the first time all three sang Maury Yeston's Act 1 finale from
Nine at the same time. For although Rivera and Masterson appeared together in the Tony-winning revival a couple of seasons ago, Stamos succeeded Antonio Banderas in the starring role after Chita had already departed the production. As Broadway.com looked on backstage at the Schoenfeld, Masterson linked their two companies of
Nine--and their memories of its fabulousness--by bringing Rivera and Stamos together at last.
