    i could be wrong, but from the variety picture, the actress who play maria hardly looks puerto rican. she's damn near blond.

    @bess marvin, girl detective: upon further research, she is a brunette but not what i envisioned of maria at all.

    I knew a member of the WSS movie cast years ago -- Burt Michaels, who played Snowboy. He directed a summerstock version of West Sides Story I was in as a teenager. Nice guy. Great dancer.


    I looked for him in that picture, but then realized it's from the Broadway show, not the film.

    What's to be excited about? It's only a revival of the best show in the history of musical theater. No big deal.

    That is a great review. So question for all the New Yorkers in the house? Other than Ticketmaster (with their evil surcharges), how does an out of towner get tickets?

    gracias!

    @secretagentman: The TKTS booth? OR! You could ask someone from Gawker who is here in NYC to pick you up tix from the box office. Of course, this would require both parties to be on the honor system.

    Two fingers in a downward V bounced twice means "asshole is crowding the plate; pitch him high, fast, and tight".
