Well, having seeing it within the context of the show, at least on the current tour, to me it seemed to somehow be kind of a debate between Eva and Che, her status had been climbing steadily--with each man moving up--and now she's at the highest status possible, first lady of Argentina. So it seemed that Che was essentially saying what does she do now that she's reached the top, what else can she do, what purpose does she have? Somehow I saw Eva's part as somehow resoluting to still have purpose, to figure out someway to get higher. I mean, I guess all of the lyrics don't necessarily match, but that's the theme I took out of the song when I saw it in the show.
"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
