It's funny, I happened upon my tape of the Drama Desks last year and watched it a little before this aired. I have to say the broadcast itself was very much improved. No major sound problems, everything was in order, they edited it well, god rid of what was expendible, etc.
Anyone else watch?
"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli
