This is my favorite musical of all-time. I played Action in our high school production (oh the lols when the only black kid in the cast got to tell a white kid playing a Puerto Rican "YOU'RE TOO DARK TO PASS!") and got to sing "Gee, Officer Krupke"; you'll have to ask Sara, John and FB whether I was any good at it or not. (Heh)

I like the stage show a lot more than the movie because I don't like the changes they made to the song order and who sang them for the movie.

haven't seen in ages but I like it fine... tho I would probably rate all of my favorite Fosse material ahead of it.

(xpost)Dan was great, and so were John and FB (if memory serves, John was a Shark and FB a Jet...). I would never lie about West Side Story. But I will admit that I watched it from backstage, not from the audience.

Dan, I don't remember that line, but I'm laughing now...

People still call them librettos?

...Yes?

If you call it a "book," many ppl get confused.

I was thinking of comedian Bob Smith's line about how the stories of musicals all stink, and that he lives in fear of someone opening a libretto bar.

Wood movies - West Side Story vs. Brainstorm

West Side Story does not feature an old man having 800 orgasms in a row, I rest my case.
