    Glad to see the real music and talent is still alive. West Side Story, The Sound of Music, My Fair Lady, South Pacific, Carousel, Oklahoma, Brigadoon, Flower Drum Song, Camelot. Nothing today can even come close.

    In 1961, West Side Story was showing at the Paramount Theater, in Baltimore, MD. I cried, begged, pleased with my Mom, to let me go see it. For some reason she relented. From that moment on, I knew I had seen one of the greatest, most wonderful movie, of all time. I cried when I was watching it. I fell in love with Natalie Wood. Since then I've played the piano for this show, multiple times. I've seen it on Broadway. I've watched the film, over and over again. It should have won eleven Oscars, not ten.The only other film that moved me like WSS did, was "The Sound of Music." I saw this at the old Ford"s theater in downtown Baltimore, when I was 5or 6. I can't thank my Mom enough, for opening this world to me, and since I"ve seen beaucouo Broadway shows and films, and it keeps getting better all the time. Thanks guys for letting me share all of this.
    Jay M. from Baltimore.

    I remember as a kid in the 60’s acting out a rumble during recess. Snapping our fingers and saying, “Play it cool. Pow!” was my favorite part. The Municipal Opera, an outdoor theater in St Louis, must have staged it in the summer. The last 10 rows were free, so the whole family would go.

    Fifty years! It seems like 50 seconds. We who were there for the original stage production, and then the film, wondered if this greatest of American musicals might be forgotten as time moved on. It was so connected to a particular time and place. We
    need not have worried. Just saw it at the 12,000-seat Muny Theatre in St. Louis and it was magnificent, and all the original orchestrations and choreography. The audience was besides itself with joy and at the end loudly sobbing.

    Loved it. Gave me a little tear. I don't know if it was the nostalgia of the musical or the sadness that it seems our country is running so fast to abandon the things that have made her great-and Broadway musicals are an American staple so all of that together made me sad, but joyful at the dance same time. My son hopes to be on Broadway someday, but I fear if he ever gets there New York won't be the same....Either way-I loved this. What a brilliant tribute to a 50 year old masterpiece. :)

    NY has lost spontaneity in the last decade. You made the streets exciting again. God knows this city needs an injection of new creativity and dedicated young people who work together to evolve the arts to the next level (not to mention it looked fun to do as it was to watch). J Bergasse, you gave just the right elements of Robbins and well executed expansion to pull off a memory that will be remembered for a lifetime. It's why many of us moved here in the first place. Well done

      My school are doing a production of West Side Story and we've been having 9 till 9 rehearsals for the past 2 weeks as our show is own this Thursday till Saturday. My sister is playing Maria in B cast and I am playing as Pepe. We do a lot of the dances differently (and not saying this because it's our own show) but our dances I think look a lot better with more differentiations, they still look similar enough for you to know straight away it's West Side Story. Or if it's the Sharks or the Jets.

    If I had to guess, few to none of the people would have known it was from West Side Story. People are more familiar with the songs rather than the background music. It's a shame my favorite scene is the Prologue and I love it solely for the music and choreography. Leonard Bernstein was a master of his craft and the music proves it.
