Is this it?
I thought this production was supposed to be a reinterpretation of the material...the poster is boring. I hope its just temporary.

Wow...how original and exciting (not).
Hopefully, this is just something temporary.

Posted: 8/9/08 at 4:49pmShouldn't that be Historia Lado Oeste or something?

Posted: 8/9/08 at 6:21pmWow...why use the film's artwork? That's just dull.
Some people paint, some people sew, I meddle.

Posted: 8/9/08 at 7:23pmHow about the old Mad magazine parody of years ago called "East Side Story"?

Well, the actual spanish title for WEST SIDE STORY was AMOR SIN BARRERAS ("Love with No Barriers").

First Godspell used the original artwork, and now WSS does the same.
Is there a marketing strike on Broadway?

Mmmmm! Just as exciting as the London 50th Anniversary production!
A young actress with Noel coward after a dreadful opening night performance said to him 'Well, i knew my lines backwards this morning!''
Noels fast reply was ''Yes dear, and thats exactly how you said them tonight'!'

Actually, the show was going to be called East Side Story and they were considering having one of the gangs be Jewish. But, then they changed it to West Side Story.
Just something I learned in my musical theatre history class last summer.

Posted: 8/11/08 at 2:30pmMaybe if they play the Nederlander, they could have cut-outs of Tony and Maria on the fire escapes.

I hope that artwork is temporary and they go in a fresh direction to advertise the show instead of recycling Saul Bass' logo from the 1961 movie.
Maybe the producers are just going for "brand" recognition. That logo is legendary.

Posted: 8/11/08 at 7:38pmI've actually never been thrilled with any West Side Story artwork so this is no shock.

Posted: 8/12/08 at 1:47amDid the 1980 revival at the Minskoff use the same artwork?

This was the PLAYBILL artwork so I'm thinking no.
I would much prefer the classic red artwork than this though....
