West Side story

[braodwaybaby]

lol yeah thats probably an easier way to put it

 

[Sarah Sue]

I LOVE that play!!! Its amazing! I love how its like a modern Romeo and Juliet!!

 

[Kilted Stranger]

except the Modern Day Juliet doesnt die...

except the Modern Day Juliet doesnt die...

Very true-she doesn't die physically. But the movie still shows the result hate between gangs. We bought the special DVD of this one-utterly fantastic!

[Kilted Stranger]

ahhh.... an epiphany! "Juliet" doesnt die physically.. but she does die in an Emotional sence... and herfore becomes a widow type that keeps to herself, which kills her in a social sence too!!

I thought that West Side Story was really sad, but also really good

 

[Kilted Stranger]

yea.. its great! so much packed into one musical...

whats everyones favourite number from it?

 

[enjolras]

Somewhere and Tonight, America isnt bad as well

 

[Kilted Stranger]

i like America and Gee, Oficer Krupke!

 

[enjolras]

hehehe that cool!

 

[Kilted Stranger]

its great!!! so funny...

would be great to play Krupke... he does nothing!

 

[enjolras]

i thought it would be bad... why would you want to go through all the auditions and rehersals to play a character who does nothing?

 

[Kilted Stranger]

Thats a fair point... but he is a very memorable character, and he is a main role. i dunno, i just feel attracted to the role, the size isnt really important.

 

[Phantom Phan 2]

[Kilted Stranger]

lol! i know!! any chance ill get to cover them all??

where ya been??

 

[PuppyforChrist]

I once performed a dance to one of the songs from this musical in gym class. Yes that was fun.

The ending IS really tragic. In fact the first time I saw this musical I cried. But hey, I cried during The Lion King, so can you blame me?

 

[Kilted Stranger]

What song was it that you were dancing to??

lol, what bit in the Lion King did you cry at?? HOw about Bambi??

 

[enjolras]

lol, i know somebody who cries at the end of most musicals and movies, and i even cried when i first saw both les mis and west side story

 

[Kilted Stranger]

lol! they are very moving musicals...

 

[enjolras]
