 Incredible, May 12, 2013

I just needed to speak on behalf of WEST SIDE STORY. I was thrilled and it was perfect. The singing and dancing was beyond what I expected. I was fortunate to fall into a ticket and am so very happy. Just like the movie. Congratulations to the entire cast on a wonderful performance.

Is this play appropriate for a second grader?, Apr 10, 2013

My daughter has just turned 8. She is excited to see the play, but a friend tells me there is a suggestive rape scene in it? Also gratuitous sex scenes?
Has anyone taken their kids to this and what do they think. Thanks! |

 Weak Orchestra Kept "Story" from Soaring, Jan 21, 2013
|
reviewer: Bryan Masson
from Fort Worth, Texas

The cast was great and the show happened to have the necessary punch at the most important points to make it.
In Fort Worth, it was very hard to hear the spoken word. Much of the clever dialogue was missed. Some sung text was lost as well, especially in the fun set pieces, such as "I Feel Pretty" and "Officer Krupky." "America" was almost totally lost - the most fun number.
The orchestra, however, is what kept the show from being a total success. They played with zero focus. Rhythmic vitality was mostly missing. There was no edge and no rhythmic drive. You could see the cast trying to push it up a few notches to make it work.
As I said, the emotion was there at the major points, but large swaths were sleepy time for me, even with all of the activity going on on the stage.
My tickets were given to me and were worth $100.00. This was like high quality community theater, not Broadway and definitely not worth $100.00 a pop. |

 Just go for the dancing, Dec 15, 2012
|
reviewer: Lyn Baldauf
from Atlanta, Georgia
|
What a disappointment. Krupke being sung AFTER the killings (which makes no sense,) lots of obscene gestures, NO OPENING OVERTURE, America sung ONLY by the women (with NO punch as a result) and a Tony who was weak both in presence and in voice. His singing is reminiscent of a frightened American Idol audition candidate.
Going to go rent the movie.
