[RosesNightengales]

@artcream530 Had a feeling. She sounded familiar.

[lorenasoriano]

[Defjams1991]

[wingman6950]

amazing so freaking amazing

[jleon1985]

I always liked how the movie changed it with maria's brother singing, maybe because i saw the movie before any play version.

[gleekfreak2010]

Karen Olivo is HOT!!!! Love the way she performs in this song!

[steamboatgal1]

Karen is  amazing

[sjkernes09]

Ok people...Why are you all piss hurt that the audience is clapping during the song. It's how the show their appreciation for what was happing at that moment. Also you all think that you're professional technicians I bet most of you are not pro or even been behind the scenes of a broadway show. The western theatre etiquette tells us to clap something we find good or amazing.

[cmh281288]

@sjkernes09 It's etiquette to clap after a number, not during to the point where you can barely hear what's happening during a number. You find this mostly with Wicked fangirls. I understand that this isn't exactly the case with this performance, but that's mostly because it's in a TV studio and professionally filmed, in an actual theatre it's a different case. Also, I have been doing professional theatre for nearly 10 years and have been in the ensemble for some of Australia's biggest shows.

@cmh281288 I think you need to chill lol. First of all, theatre etiquette has changed quite a bit. And may I start off by saying the audience NEVER clapped during the singing, so I could understand everything and hear everything clearly. They only clapped during the dance breaks and this is dancing with the stars, not the ACTUAL Broadway performance and on DWTS the audience always claps during amazing dancing. Plus, as a performer myself it is SO thrilling to have the audience cheer for you.

[BroadwayBoy1022]

@JWeb4U I couldn't agree more

[InUntitled4240]

@sjkernes09 no dude ur right it adds momentum to what they are doing and could make the dancers perform better

[thefinewino]

@sjkernes09 I can't expect much from the audience of Dancing With the Stars.

[fernglamour13]

When she says "Everyone there will have moved here" she sounds like Judy Garland :]

[thebigsaunders]

I just love the person playing Anita's voice :D

It is different, and original :)

[VannieVana]

That's how you do live perforrmances! Brilliant!

[ilcs15f]

america needs to be more proper and clap at the end.

[benjiboi91]

Clapping is how an audience shows appreciation. How old are you people bitching about clapping?

[TheLovebroadway]

karen olivo is amazing! :)

[naomi444]

why do they clap at everything, someone ducks and they clap

[cmh281288]

@naomi444 because americans are easily entertained.. hence the success of dancing with the stars

[naomi444]

@cmh281288 hahaha, so true

[clarinetisgreat]

@cmh281288 And behind the camera, there's someone who gives a sign when people should clap... they must pretend like they are overenthousiastic!

[cmh281288]

@clarinetisgreat i wasn't just talking about live television audiences, theatre audiences are exactly the same.. applauding and squealing at inappropriate times.

[Gamerguy3379]

@cmh281288 Stop going to $10 shows?

[cmh281288]

@Gamerguy3379 it's not the amateur theatre that's the issue, i'm talking broadway shows where the fangirls have gotten out of control.. shows such as wicked, spring awakening, legally blonde, next to normal.. even a little night music was the same..

[Gamerguy3379]

@cmh281288 Interesting. I've never experienced such poor etiquette. 

[showersinger34]

oh, what i would give to wear those dresses

[fashionglindaguru]

"Some of the cast of 'West Side Story'" Would it kill you to sat Karen Olivo?

I always hated Samantha Harris

[misskisses96]

@fashionglindaguru it wasnt only karen olivio it was....some of the cast so why would she only say her name?that wouldnt make sense and it wouldnt be nice to her casst member who performed with her

[beatlesgirl101]

if anyone can find more of broadway performing on dancing with the stars that be great

[whitetiefilms]

Karen Olivo is outstanding. Seriously. She is so powerful.

[DrizzyDrakemixes]

karen olivo is the greatest. love her

[shabyto]

Karen olive is amazing...

[Missperformer94]

Karen Olivo= AMAZING!!!! Live and recorded! even in person!!!!! love her!

[WICKEDrocksHL26]

almost a capella....amazing!

[Toasterfraker]

why exactly is it 'almost a capella?'. There's an orchestra. there's music. it's NOT a capella!

[WICKEDrocksHL26]

that's why i said ALMOST a capella.

[WICKEDrocksHL26]

ok, am i gonna have to explain this over and over again? i said ALMOST. i could barely hear the music!

[Toasterfraker]

rotfl... you couldn't hear the music? lol. maybe you should get your ears checked ;)

[WICKEDrocksHL26]

i wear hearing aids, thanks very much. not technically deaf but i have severe hearing problems, i've had hearing aids since i was 2. sooo....

[wises73abc]

Saw this show on Broadway last month and no regrets.

[xMsLissx]
