Review of West Side Story (1961) by Carole T — 10 Jul 2009

One of my favourite musicals of all time. The performances (especially Chakiris and Moreno) are superb and the songs are some of the best ever written. Wonderfully romantic and so heartbreaking at the end, it makes me cry every time.

Only downside is Wood and Beymer don't do their own singing but it doesn't take too much away from their performances as the chemistry between them is electric.
