West side stupendous
by reverendg on 5/19/14Fisher Theatre - DetroitWe love musicals (wife and I). Musicals with live music are our preference. This show did not disappoint. Great music, fantastic singing, great choreography, and the set was perfect. Spartan enough to leave the focus on the performers, yet what was there was executed beautifully. The set was very convincing, and the scenery changes were a work of art on their own. The way the scenes melded together made the show flow well. Maria's voice (Suki) was amazing, and Anita (Michelle) was absolutely perfection in playing her character. Bernardo as well. So many things stood out, but the overall cohesiveness of the show and cast members really made it all work as more than the sum of the parts. Even the smaller parts, Doc, Officer Krupke, the detective, Anybody's, all of the cast members seemed to be focused on being the role, not just saying lines. The small details always make the difference. Thank You for a wonderful show.
