West Side Story (Touring) Tickets

The singing, dancing, and set were excellent. Very impressed with the energy and actors/actresses and crew! The actress playing "Maria" was simply amazing in all regards. Was somewhat disappointed with the mix of english and spanish in the dialogue and music. I could not follow what was being said or spoken several times and this was frustrating. Not an enhancement over the original version of the play. Also, some of the scenes had too much sexual imagery and innuendo. Officer Krupke was terrible that way. Again, not an enhancement over the original version of the play

This was my first musical. It was very entertaining. Great numbers, great actors, very artistic. I would definetely do this again.

Surprised the wife and took her on Friday night. It was okay and did not care for the implemented changes to a few scenes. They should have stuck to the original! Marie was outstanding and stood out from the other cast members.

I took my mother to the show and we totally enjoyed it!! I remember watching the movie on TV with her as a little girl & loved it then as well. WE were not disappointed!!

Was very disappointed in the West Side Story performance...too much shreiking/singing, too much Spanish language and the story was lost in all of it. Too bad for a classic.

The production was amazing all together! The characterization was spot on, although in my opinion a few lines had the wrong motiviation. The use of spanish in the show was an outstanding addition to the show as well. I loved the chemistry on stage between Tony and Maria. The movement of the song "Cool" to before the rumble actually fit alot better then where it was originally, and same thing with the song "Gee, Officer Krupke." I really enjoyed the song "Somewhere", there was a great use of the ensemble and Anybodys. I have seen the movie twice and I had never felt the need to cry at the end, but this show almost brought me to tears. the choreography was amazingly done, and the dances actually fit really well with the theme of the song. It really was a great show.

Superb performance by the cast. The voices of those playing Maria and Tony were amazing. Beautiful story. I highly recommend it. I heard people complaining that it had "too much Spanish in it". That type of reaction by people is actually the point of the story - it seems that the problem still exists as much today as it did when the play first came out decades ago.

I attended the Sat. afternoon performance. Unfortunately, there was no "magic" or "sparkle" to this performance. The dancing was wonderful! However, the lead for Tony was weak and didn't provide any passion - kind of left the love scenes lukewarm. He did not have a pleasing voice. Several of the men in his "gang" had much nicer voices. Maria was wonderful. I felt like she kept holding back so as to not cover up "Tony". She had sparkle and was outstanding as was Anita. Also, the orchestral arrangement was not the best. It was too thin. There needed to be more instruments. I love the music to this story and have listened to it for the past 40 years. This was not what I would consider an outstanding Broadway performance. It fell a little flat.

West Side Story was perfect! We loved it. The actors did a fine job.

Take out the Spanish. Speak English. Performers were great!

A little too much bad language for my taste,but on the other hand exceptional performance on the part of the actors.

The choreography was magnificent. Unfortunately I can't say the same for the singing. Rif (an understudy at this show) and Tony were not nearly up to my expectations. Maria and Anita were great. I was also very annoyed by the amount of Spanish in the show. I heard they added some Spanish, but whole conversations we not in English. I was saying that at least the songs were all in English, but then in the 2nd act that started changing some verses of the songs to Spanish too. Sure, I know Puerto Ricans will speak Spanish in real life. But this is a play for an English-speaking audience, not real life.

The overall play was great, Maria's voice was incredible, the dancing was very good and was very enjoyable.

The show was well produced and the actors and actresses displayed wonderful talent.

The signing in this play is wonderful. The characters all performed very well. I would watch this musical again.

West Side Story was good, but not great. Tony and Maria lacked spark. I did not get the feeling of any chemistry between them. Their voices did not seem to harmonize during the duets. The staging, scenery, costumes were all good. I would have enjoyed seeing a slightly updated version of the Romeo and Juliet type love story. There was more Spanish in the PR scenes than I had remembered.

Was only my 2nd play to attend - last was Fiddler on the Roof. Thoroughly enjoyed the performance by the actors.

We thought it was very boring and kind of like a school play. I wasn't impressed by most of the coreography and the singing. I am sorry that we spent over $200 for 2 people for a play and dinner so not worth it.

The first half was delightful for the most part, great acting and singing, everything I was hoping for to treat my wife to a great evening out. A few lines that had been changed to make this as if it was a play about today’s inner city youth. Some sexually charged lines that just seamed un necessary with such great acting. There was one other strange event, the actor playing Tommy started spewing saliva as he sang to the point that from the second row it seemed like we may need an umbrella. Mind you his singing was excellent. Then after the intermission things turned raunchy, male actors humping each other all over the stage, in a ridiculous orgy of rude and crude dance moves that would be completely unacceptable to my children and I found offensive. Truly these dances seemed like something you would find in a strip club. There was even a gang rape scene with briefs completely exposed. Nothing about this script needs to be enhanced to be enjoyed by today’s audiences, the play is timeless and was only cheapened by these lowly changes. So the two stars would have been 4 to 5 without the slutty behavior of the male actors. The role of Maria was performed with amazing acting and singing talent that was off the scale! Such amazing beauty and talent in one petite package! This small statured actress was a giant on stage demanding your complete attention at all times. Her facial expressions captured to mood of every scene.

A great musical. I like the dances the most. Tony and Anita have great voices. I wasn't too crazy with Maria's voice. The props were also realistic.
