I watched the 1999 Stratford run of this as a fobby immigrant Chinese kid and it's been with me ever since. I learned colloquial English obsessing over the songs and movie after.
Dude, this play is bloody awesome from what I've seen. I'm trying to watch everything and know everything about this play so I can fit better into my character. (I'm playing Anybodys)
this is how i describe the jets. THE WEEK SEEKING PROTECTION: Baby John. THE THUGGISH SEEKING A LEADER: anybodys, Big Deal Mouthpeice and Gee-tar THE BOYS WHO WANT TO BE HARMFUL FOR NO REASON: Action (the most) and Tiger THE ONES THAT WANT TO BE KNOWN AND/OR WANT GLORY: A-rab THE ONES THAT WANT TO BE THERE JUST TO BE THERE: Deisel and baby john
"My old man says them PRs are ruining free enterprise" I do not think it means what you think it means. (I don't know what that means, I wanted to sneak a PB joke in there.)
Is this seriously a high school production?? And if so, is this common in America? Because the rest of the world is sitting here like “we don’t even have theatre programs in our school” and as a theatre kid, I’m jealous as all hell.
Just noticed this is from Stratford school, aka a school in Britain I literally looked around I can’t believe they’re THIS GOOD. Sorry for assuming this was America, I’m just not used to British schools having a theatre programs at all, let alone good ones. Bloody Stratford getting theatre privileges just bc Shakespeare was born there 😭
@@wtfjackaboy many people make this mistake, but Stratford High School is an actual high school in Houston, Texas. They just happen to have a really stellar theatre department.
@@THATBILLMOORE oh, I didn’t know that! There is a Stratford playhouse in Stratford-Upon-Avon, so I assumed it was the same one. Thanks for telling me!
We spent a lot of money on sound, lights, costumes, etc. Props was one of the lower budgets. Also it was a high school show so we didn't want to really broadcast smoking lol
You’re nuts. This is good, moreso considering they’re high schoolers. Have you even seen a high school performance? It’s usually garbage. This seems like a performing arts school.
@@JM-fc9gm yes I have seen a high school performance and when I attended high school I was also in the shows. We were really well known in our area for having high standard shows that weren't cringey to watch or listen to.
@@JM-fc9gm and if you think they are like a performing arts school then you have low standards my friend 😂 my directors would not allow this to be seen never mind my music teacher at high school

I can imagine its terribly hard to get the right start with this music. Its so chaotic and uneven. Respect to all the actors you did a great job
West Side Story have to be the greatest musical ever created
Agreed, even for a Star Wars character
It is. It's what everyone thinks about when they think of Broadway
i hate to be repetitive but this is amazing I can't even...

WHEN YOUR A JET YOU JET FROM YOUR FIRST CIGERATTE
Riff actually kind of sounds like Mike Faist who played him in the new 2021 version.
They are better, this is punchy!
It gave me chills!
Tremendous, better than the film.
Good. Very good. I can imagine them on the streets of the 1960s
it’s the 1950s
How did a school get so many stars in one year
Riff has a Massachusetts accent. :D
yup
Is this a sci fi version where they all have mind control devices on their heads?
The devices are actually their mics if I'm not mistaken.
Natalie Lane I think he’s just joking around, they are mics but like I think he’s saying that they’re really obvious
XD
You guys are awesome.

Good effort boys.
"My old man says them PRs are ruining free enterprise" I do not think it means what you think it means. (I don't know what that means, I wanted to sneak a PB joke in there.)
Inconceivable that you would think to make a PB reference...
It means the Puerto Ricans are ruining their White Supremacy, the jets don't really believe in that
bill do u have the full show tell me where i can watch the whole show
I'd love to see the Rumble scene and/or the final performance of the Prologue (I saw the rehearsal video, which was fantastic).
where did watch the rehearsal version? id love to see it
Just search for "Stratford Playhouse West Side Story Prologue Rehearsal," and it'll come up.
i like how the costume people sewed the clothes to look like the original broadway clothes
That was really good, I take it these are high school students? What school would it be?
This is a specialized performing arts high school because this is good money
No, this is a regular Houston High School with a really good theater department.
The mics could have been set up better 😳
the broadway was in took place in the 1950s

''my old man says them PRs is ruining free enturprise'' means my dad says them PRs is ruining their freedom on the streets
why is action the only jet to have a ciggarate?

I was action lol
THOSE MICROPHONES? THOSE FUCKING’ MICROPHONES?😜😜😜😜😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
not one dance move that a two year old couldn't do and the accent on that one guy. Gurl is working hard to get that NY accent.
i feel like the big deal guy should’ve been 👶 john and make a 🎥 and the baby john guy would now baby john and the
he sounds a lot like Mike faist lmao kinda uncanny
This is not amazing in my opinion... such a bad performance... for high schoolers it's a meh.... theyre over doing it
I actually think it's more of the bad accompaniment as they aren't bad singers
I'm super late but it was kinda boring to look at. Still a good performance overall.
