West Side Story (2021)

Written by Chad Jordahl on March 14, 2022

Good production. I liked the performers, except Ansel Elgort as the lead male, Tony, who I found to be uninteresting. I never got into the story or the songs.

A couple of other thoughts:

• Carefully choreographed Broadway-style dance routines severely diminish the menace of street gangs.
• Love at first sight is a myth and is a very bad reason to kill or be killed. (Intense attraction, curiosity, and lust at first sight, sure, but love takes longer.)
