Not that it's quite the same but both times I started the CD, the first notes of the orchestra I was expecting "Alive" from J&H OBC to come on. I listened more closely and it's not the same, just sounds a tad similar. Interesting note. And yes, the John Litghow note is pretty funny.
"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
