    If you love a good score, good story, great cast, then see it.
    I was hesitant to go after hearing some negative reviews and stories of disapppointing box office after release.

    But he music treatmeant of Bernstein's score, the choreography, the cast, were reallyjust excellent. Tony and Maria have more chemistry and talent than the originals (movie version), and I was blown away by the "I Want to Be in America" street scene. Not woke, not lame. See it.

    FAQ8

    • Dance is a very important element in "West Side Story," but no choreographer is listed in the credits. Will Jerome Robbins' groundbreaking original choreography be recreated?
    • The original release date was in December 2020. Is it true it will now be released December 2021?
    • When are we going to see a trailer?
