Great Show, Jan 16, 2010
reviewer: Viv from New York, NY
This show was fantastic. Spanish dialogue added a touch of realism. Judging from a couple of these reviews, especially the person from PA who can't even spell the word "AUDIENCE" spelled it as "AUDIANCE" I can see that unfortunately there are still an abundance of "BIGOTS" in this country. This person claims he/she did NOT see any Puerto Ricans in the "AUDIANCE" "They don't see plays" ! WOW !! I suppose this ignoramus is an expert on all thing Puerto Rican !! That's about as bigoted as anyone can get. This idiot's review should have been deleted. Anyway so much for ignorance ! It was a great show and I'm glad I did not pay attention to that fool's review.

Very Disappointing, Sep 22, 2009
reviewer: CMP from PA
Very disapointed in the show in NY. Half the songs and dialog were in Spanish. IT SHOULD BE IN ENGLISH. Didn't see any Puerto Ricans in the audiance. They don't go to see plays. Anyone who didn't know the story wouldn't know what was going on. Also, had a child singing somewhere. What was that? It should be performed by adults. The child didn't fit into the show.
Lead of Tony was not a great singer and said his lines very clipped.

Would not recommend.

Excellent. Glad I ignored some of the other reviews!, Dec 19, 2009
reviewer: Paul Harrison from UK
I originally played the character of Riff in a national tour of the UK and was looking to forward to seeing WSS for the first time since. I was taking some friends and was slightly dissapointed and concerned at some of the reviews on here saying that you could not understand because of the Spanish and that several of the performers were not great. Totally disagree. I thoroughly enjoyed the performance from start to finish. There are some alterations from the previous versions including a ballet dream sequence which was fantastic. All the cast were outstanding. Can't recommend it enough - if you don't speak Spanish you will very easily follow it. Still my favourite musical of all time. See it. :)

Great, Oct 01, 2009
reviewer: Anonymous from NJ
Just saw the play and thought it was great. The singing and dancing were excellent. Unlike previous reviews, the play was mostly in English except for some parts of it. Would definitely see it again.
