West Side Story may be temporarily on pause due to the Broadway shut down, but that doesn't mean that the cast isn't staying connected - virtually, of course!

The New York Post reported that the young cast is in touch with one another during these times.

"I think it's a blessing we have the ability to communicate with each other in such easy ways," Said Dharon Jones, who plays Riff. "Like, I can hit up Kevin [Csolak], and I'll know how he's doing in 30 seconds," Jones says. "We haven't yet done the whole cast [on Zoom]," adds Csolak, a Jet, of the 50-strong company. "Because there's so many people."

Shireen Pimentel, who plays Maria shared:

"I've gotten to a place of wanting to transform a little," she says. "Put aside artistry altogether - singing, everything... finding the joy in being a person.

"So I cut bangs, I dyed my hair and I did a bunch of stuff that I don't do."
