Yup about the standing O after Dirty Rotten Number. But it's amusing. The first 4 times I went, no standing ovation. The 5th time the people to people group was there and they were an amazing audience and that's when the standing ovation seemed to last 5 minutes. The last 3 times after that have also been standing ovations, though not as enthusiastic audiences. But the 9th time I went, it was if not tied w/ the people to people audience, definitely the 2nd best and most enthusiastic audience I've gotten to watch DRS with--go figure that's my first time in 5 shows there is no standing ovation after DRN. LOL.
"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
