Not going to lie, after seeing the performance of this while it was on Broadway, I honestly felt that Anita would have been a much stronger Maria, though it is hard to tell vocal range for the part.. but her acting was OUTSTANDING. I'd never seen a performance of this show with an Anita that wonderful. True story.
Jet girls too revealing? We're gang sluts. and It wasn't supposed to be period, that was the point. I don't personally agree w/ doing the show in a vague timeless way, I like it set in '57, but this particular production wasn't set in the 50's.
@Piccolo13 Both sets of hands are cold until they make contact with the hands of the other person. This mechanism is" the same "for both people. That's how I interpreted the lines
@daveedo10 Oh I agree as well! This is my favorite recording of West Side Story! I am just lamenting over the fact that her voice cracked in such a prestigious performance. As a fellow performer, I can relate.
So excited that we are learning this dance in my dance class right now! Its sooooo much fun!super duper hard!!

The mini dresses, in what is now a period piece, alone trashes this and makes it laughable.

Is the actress who plays Maria from Argentina? Her accent is too melodic for a Puertoriqueña.

I didn't really like the Jets' girls costumes. A tad too revealing. But, overall, very good.

"My hands are cold, you'res too, so warm"
"You'res too" "Ofcourse, they are the same"
HUH? How the heck does any of that make any sense....it bugs me every time we do this scene in rehearsals

Their hands are physically cold.
Their faces provide warmth for their hands.
The whole point of the musical is to prove that human beings are all the same... you know... the subject of discrimination and equality.

@JordynsPoetryPannier I hadn't noticed that they were touching their faces too....it makes a bit more sense now, at least the "so warm..." part
