Tony Stevens (May 2, 1948 – July 12, 2011), born Anthony Pusateri, was an American choreographer, dancer, and director who worked with, danced with, and directed many of Broadway and Hollywood's theatre-centric actors and actresses, including Chita Rivera, Martin Short, Robert Redford, and Gene Kelly.
[3] As his career as a Broadway gypsy took off, Stevens transitioned into a choreographer, assisting Peter Gennaro on Irene and co-choreographing the short-lived rock musical Rockabye Hamlet with Gower Champion.
His life was commemorated on November 8, 2011 with the tribute performance In Celebration of Tony Stevens at the New York Society for Ethical Culture, which featured performances by Chita Rivera, Jack Lee, Sam Harris, Debbie Gravitte, Michon Peacock, Laura Kenyon, Harvey Evans, Robert Cuccioli, Nathan Sampson, Andy Bew, Carol Schuberg, Dante Puleio, and Gerry McIntyre.
[11] A documentary about Stevens' life and career, entitled With No Regrets: A Dancin' Man's Journey, debuted at the 2013 Dances with Films Festival in Hollywood, CA.
Created by filmmakers George Fairfield and Crystal Chapman, the documentary features extensive interviews with Stevens and many of his colleagues, including Chita Rivera, Kelly Bishop, and Jerry Mitchell.
