Off to See Maria, Anita, Tony, Bernardo & the Gang



At
8:10 PM this evening the conducter will raise his baton and the magic
of the road company of "West Side Story" will start the opening at the
Broward Performing Arts Center
and I probably won't breath until the show ends about 3 hours later.

     

"West Side Story" is my second favorite musical of all time. The
last time I saw a production was in February, 2004, for my 17th Leap
Year birthday, at the 26th Street Theatre with Chuck, Bob, Jim and Gino
and it was an excellent production on a much smaller stage.

   

These
are scenes from the touring company presented by Broadway Across
America. Just looking at the pictures I can hear/see "America", "I Feel
Pretty", "Somewhere", "Tonight", "The Dance At The Gym", "Maria", "A Boy
Like That" and Bernstein's great score.





Look for my review at www.corinescorner.com

Is it 8:10 PM yet?

This is one of the first musicals I watched as a youngster. It was about the time that P.J. Proby (spelling)? Was number one in the UK with 'Maria'. My mother told me to watch the musical when it was shown on the tv. Thououghly, enjoyed watching it. The other one which springs to mind, is Carousel - loved that one

Have a great time Martin
