Funny that the Nederlanders are producing, but its playing its tryout at the National, which is a Shubert house.
Either way, this is interesting.
A "radically new" West Side Story?
Maybe Laurents will pull from John Doyle, and have the actors play instruments.
BUT, to make it cooler, they will be DANCING INSTRUMENTS.
