For me this production of West Side Story was enthralling, energetic & vitamin A; emotional.
I was a unforesightful confused at first as I had seen the plastic film version beforehand. For example in the movie the song gravitational constant Officer Krupke comes just before the war council whereas in the mathematical process it came after the Rumble where Riff and Bernardo died.
The use of backdrops, sets and props was clever. rough of the sets were simple but the lighting and props made them magical. The overage photos of New York blown up & projected on the back of the stage very created the sense of being there, in that era.
I also thought the costumes were ingenious, they helped to tell us who was who. The Sharks and their girls in their really bright, flamboyant outfits contrasted with the Jets who almost appeared to be a uniform.
The performers visualised their characters to perfection. I cant imagine the difficulty of having to act, utter and dance, especially when the chorography was so fast & complicated.
I really care Officer Krupke and Doc: like two antagonist kinds of adults: Krupke who distrusts & dislikes the kids (but is pretty funny), and Doc who is sympathetic. Of the gang kids I liked Riff the best: the actor was really good & I like that character. He reminds me a bit of my chum (which isnt necessarily a good thing) Anita was great: she brought a touch of humour to the otherwise tragic story.
The orchestra was amazing in replicating the original songs which I believe are only pass by the music of Rogers and Hammerstein. As the curtain closed I had tears in my eyes and as I left-hand(a) the incredible Regent Theatre with Gee Officer Krupke stuck in my head.
