Chicago – If you are looking for a sumptuous present for the film musical admirer in your life, look no further than the Blu-ray 50th Anniversary package of “West Side Story.” The classic Broadway-to-screen adaptation won 10 Oscars, including the coveted Best Picture.
Blu-ray Rating: 4.5/5.0
“West Side Story” is one of the more stunning musical theater achievements in Broadway history, with a creative dream team of composer Leonard Bernstein, lyricist Stephen Sondheim and director/choreographer Jerome Robbins. The film version honors the source material, with Robert Wise sharing a director credit with Robbins (it was the first co-director Oscar win in history). Combining the mind-blowing score, witty prose lyrics and dance talent of the one-of-a-kind cast, “West Side Story” changed the energy of what a musical could be.
Basically a retelling of Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet,” the story substitutes New York City street gangs, the Jets and Sharks, for the warring Capulets and Montagues.
