I have been on this WSS kick this weekend and was thinking if someone gave me a couple million dollars to do a revival of WSS, who would I cast in it? Now, I am posing this question to you guys. Who would you cast in your ideal WSS revival?
If someone gave you a couple million dollars, you wouldn't get further than a major city center in your state. Try doing that in NY, and you'd be told your numbers are way too low. A Broadway show on the low end is roughly ten-and-a-half, maybe fifteen, million dollars these days.
Also, one typically does not open a dream casting thread without sharing their own ideas first, but that's your prerogative.
Preferably "ethnic" people to play the parts of the Sharks. Preferably Latino, but Asian or black would work too. I'm sick of listening another poor Spanish accent while watching/listening to West Side Story. Only flipping your r's while speaking English does NOT make it a Spanish accent. Good Lord.
