Take Shakespeare’s most beloved story, set down a modem Romeo and Juliet in the teeming turmoil of 20th-century New York, add music that is sometimes serious, sometimes sweet, always scintillating and pure magic... and you have a success. Music and theater lovers have been analyzing the success secrets of "West Side Story" since it opened on Broadway in 1957. But the fact is. by now “West Side Story” needs no further analysis. It simply is. And what it is is a modem classic.
Now. a beautiful new version of "West Side Story" is bom as the Living Strings recreate the magic of its music with their rich and wonderful sounds. Johnny Douglas arranged and conducted, giving a lush, lovely new life to every number. The result: sensitive subtleties and a sweeping splendor to delight the most avid "West Side Story" fans—and anyone else who loves great music.
Recall your own favorites:
The excitement of the beginnings of deep, young love in Something's Coming. The Dance in the Gym that prefaces the meeting of two ill-fated lovers. Maria, one of the most touching modem tribute-., to a woman who is loved.
Remember the charm, wit and wonder of the island girls who have finally discovered America. And the more penetrating wonder of two people who recognize love—Tonight. The unsophisticated amazement of the lovely girl who finally feels needed and expresses it in I Feel Pretty.
Never has a wedding ceremony been more beautifully enacted than in One Hand, One Heart. Nor has the ugliness of the street fight been more poetically portrayed than in The Rumble.
Finally, prejudice (A Boy Like That) loses the battle to love (1 Have a Love). And two young innocents look forward to the time and the place where hatred is banished and only love lives. Somewhere.
It will move you. It may anger you. It will make you smile. But this newest "West Side Story" will not leave you untouched.
The music stands on its own. But only the Living Strings can put such depth and so much of the beautiful dream into it. Their music seems to come from a special, wondrous place. Perhaps from Somewhere.
