This review is from: West Side Story (Audio CD)

West Side Story is one of the most wonderful shows ever written, one of the most performed by amateur, stock and high schools. Among the countless recordings of this fabulous score, only the original Broadway cast is worth the trouble. As it seems, all these recordings wanted to create somthing new and different and strayed greatly form the original material, when there truly is no need for that. The music, the lyrics, the message, the magic are perfect as they are but most directors don't seem to agree and they change, adapt and lose some of the perfection along the way. The artists on this recording can sing, but in no way do they catch the wonderful message of a teenage boy and girl who fall hoplessly in love and the tragedy of hate and violence. When will there be a GOOD recording of West Side Story?
