I remember some of the facts were a little dramatized. I remember they said that the reviews for West Side TSory were mixed. If I recall from my book on Broadway musicals from 1939-1960. they said West Side Story got a few raves and many favorables. Maybe my book is incorrect, which I highly doubt.
