Times Online: "Not many musicals make musical history. Once the template is set – the hoofing, the ballads, the knees-up at the end – you know the score, and instant familiarity beats innovation.
But the 1957 production that unleashed Bernstein’s fizzing West Side Story on an unprepared Broadway audience threw out the old formulas."
It was very nice to read details about west side story. This performance is a big hit, and they are performing in Korea, which tells they are all around the world. I have not seen this performance, but I am really interested in watching this performance when i get back to korea. The procedure and the background history helped to have better understanding to this performance.
