West Side Story



I recently saw West Side Story; truly a fine work of art. My whole family went to see it at the Palace Theater, and we got box seats on the left-hand side of the theater. The view was amazing; my sister always says that she wants to be so close to the stage that she could see the actors' spit.

Anyway, the show was amazing. It has a special charm that the movie doesn't deliver. You could tell that the show wasn't an expensive production though. I guess what you really pay for is Bernstein's musical genus coming to life with the story line of Romeo and Juliet. Overall, TheaterPreppy gives West Side Story a 'collar's up.' The only thing lacking was Tony's singing voice...so many trills.
