WEST SIDE STORY (2019 Revival) Preview Thread Dec 20

Was at last night’s performance and found this production astounding and a gorgeous reinvention of WSS. Definitely a polarizing revival but I loved it and am still thinking about it. I hope to be back soon and can’t wait to read reviews.

Friends of mine saw it the other night and loved it, but I’m curious for more detailed reports. I won’t be seeing it for another couple of weeks.

Still confused about that one (it made me think of the song "Big Blue World" and I got sort of excited thinking that Disney was expanding the Anderson-Lopez's Finding Nemo Musical from Animal Kingdom into a full show haha)."

Caught tonight’s performance and unfortunately, the show is a mess. The cast delivers admirable performances and the physical production itself is handsome, but the book is beyond problematic. I don’t see how it could have any commercial potential.

I believe Paper Mill is receiving enhancement money for this particular production (it is produced by Hal Luftig and Craig Haffner)...though I have no clue what the “average” budget may be.

I’ll be there on closing night, but I’m curious to hear people’s thoughts. I’d heard the goal is Broadway.
As mentioned above, I'm guessing Don't Stop is the pre-Broadway engagement that the Colonial was teasing earlier today. Perhaps the announcement will also include Broadway dates? I just hope they work on their artwork...it looks very cheap and sloppily put together.
It seems Bombshell isn't dead after all (despite the upcoming Some Like It Hot, which many seemed to think was a compromise). Craig Zadan just teased on Twitter...
Quite honestly, I think it was the worst thing I've ever seen on a Broadway stage...and that's including other travesties like the Gigi and Guys and Dolls revivals.
