West Side Story Revival will cut I Feel Pretty and Somewhere Ballet

One of the things I liked about the movie version of America was that it wasn't 'improved' with CGI.

Maybe after the preview period, they'll reinstate the cut material if audiences revolt.

Now picturing the audience revolt during the curtain call as they all rise, fists raised in protest and begin singing in unison, "I Feel Angry. Oh so angry. I feel angry, tense, and distraught ... "

And then one manic loud voice begins to rise above all the others ... and wait, what's this? It's Imelda Staunton as Maria barrelling down the center aisle of the theatre.

As a silence falls throughout the theatre, she hurdles audience members to reach the stage where she engages in a brief staredown with the conductor before he begins the number from the top and she shoves the cast aside to ensure she has the spotlight.

This sounds like it would be more entertaining than the revival would be.
