Fantastic news! I would give the world to play riff.



I'm sure I'll end up taking a bus up to NY just to see it within the first month of shows

Can someone explain how a production of WSS can be to "white" when Anita is played by a black actress?

Ivan I believe it was in reference more to the male chorus--that problem was directed at the revival a lot (I believe the LONG 50th Anniversary WSS thread on here goes into specifics)

Okay, just because there's one black actress in the whole show it doesn't mean that a production can't be "white-bread."
Eric, I actually share some of your reservations (as silly as they may be) about a non-dancer directing WEST SIDE STORY.
