Isn't the music outstanding. Most of the movie was filmed in my old neighborhood where I was raised. I have a dvd of the movie and watch it often. Thanks for replying.

OMG.. I love West Side Story. I've seen iton TV, locally done as a play and done in other cities as a play. Oddly enough, my favorite version is still the movie/tv version I saw when I was a kid. I grew up thinking Tony was the sweetest man around... oh if I could only be Maria! LOL

My kids got to see it for the first time ever about 3 months ago. They're not into "musicals" at all but all 3 commented it was better than they thought it would be.

What a love story, huh? Words can't even explain the music. A classic for sure! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. +

I love West Side Story. It is one of the best musicals ever made.It is timeless. The music is so beautiful. The dancing is great. And the theme is still current.It is rare that film made in the 60's can hold up now.

You are right. Excellent performance. Thanks. +

What are you talking about? I can't understand what this post is about. I try to answer all my friends' discussion. But this thing I don't have a clue what this is about. Are you talking about the celebrity fans? Tony, Maria, are all of them your Television stars?

The ground-breaking, dynamic film of 1961 was based on the successful Broadway hit - a staged musical play (opening in 1957) by writer Arthur Laurents and directed/choreographed by Jerome Robbins. The play reworked the traditional love story material (of lovers that crossed racial/ethnic barriers) and translated it, in a radical, novel and revolutionary style for a musical, to include racial strife between rival New York street gangs (newly-arrived Puerto Ricans and second-generation Americans from white European immigrant families), juvenile delinquency and inner-city problems of the mid-twentieth century - in exhilarating musical and dance form. To capture the realism of the social tragedy and its urban environment, some of the film was shot on location in Manhattan (in abandoned West Side tenements around 110th St., and other settings), but most of it was actually filmed on sound stages with stylized, artificial studio sets.

You really should rent it - you will enjoy it. Let me know if you do.
