Tonight - West Side Story

[JohnPerez718]

First off, this is one of the best on Youtube. I gots to give credit where credit is due. BUT, even though y'all sounded really good, there wasn't enough energy. I would've loved to see more from the Jets/Sharks. After all, the build the intensity of the song.

Its such a fun, yet intense song to perform, and I imagine y'all had an awesome time doing it. Bravo :)

omg maria was freakin PERFECT

[MrJetaime555]

voices were great but enthusiam was low. The piano was really slow too.

[MTLahver1318]

beautiful!

[kechluv]

ok did they sing this or lip it...???

[cmenard58]

wow this was really good!!!! i auditioned for West Side Stories last week, and i hope i get Tony to sing this wonderful piece!

[dancer122694]

this is gonna sound funny but is Tony a dancer? cuz he stands with a really wide turn out.

[SexyHogwarts]

It sounds pretty good! I didn't like the crazy movement at the end with Maria. That's a really high note and she needs to be still to support it.

[gritsandhomefries]

tony seems really unenthusiastic.....its depressing. Hes supposed to make this scene...instead hes just standing there......balding.

[ShawTheatre]

The balding comment seems a little personal...

I don't disagree that maybe this should be Tony's scene, but where you see unenthusiastic - I see focused... but to each his own - I am a little biased, after all. :)

[RichieEastside]

@ShawTheatre I thought this Tony was brilliant. I definitely saw focused and dreamy and not "unenthusiastic"...and for me, Tony doesn't make this scene, it's the entire company. For me it's always been more about the gangs, which to be honest are a bit weak here vocally, but it looks pretty good overall. I've always thought this song should be carried equally by all involved and in this version it really was, it's the beginning of the climax of everybody's story, not just Tony's.

[Ondinita212]

@ShawTheatre He has a very nice voice...:) Some people are just mean!

[mootothemax01]

@gritsandhomefries I thought the same thing

[ShawTheatre]

Ehm... just to clarify - they were recognitions and awards... no competitions ;)

[chrismo1984]

WOW WOW WOW. This was incredible. One of the best performances of this number I have ever seen.

[juneyb006]

this is awesome! seriously.

[boonbam]

wow great!

[johncorsino]

EXCELLENT!!!

[patchyp317]

ahhhs. we have our first vocal auditions for seussical at my school on wednesday.. and the part when tony sings is my audition piece. :]

[r7l7m7Q]

what school is this? Its pretty darn good!

[Selendomono]

i love it. only thing im sad about is the lack of the sassy brass before anita's bit... lol i bet nobody else noticed that at all because it is literally 1 second long....

[ppan91]

beautifully directed !!

[keithmarrmusic]

this is really good, i play Bernardo in our production of west side story, but i have to sing the Sharks part on my own =S

[Phil19780]

Yeah same, I glad i do though, I reckon it sounds good with just soloists

[Phil19780]

I love the way it was directed/coreographed. I love how Maria is on that moving fire-exit/steps, its so epic. And Anita was good, she delivers her part so well and matches great with her character. Well done guys!!!! Thats awesome

[Phil19780]

This is the best song in the musical!! I play Bernardo in my highschool West Side Story, Yeah!

[powerfulpowerzz]

great vocals

[DioniLovesMusic]

my high school did this performanca last night, let me tell you, you guys were freaking awesome!!!!!!!!!! i wish we could have been as good as you guys

[talisaynon]

yea, good job guys. I've been searching all on youtube for good adaptations of this scene (i'd imagine it'd be one of the hardest ones) and i think this is the best that i've found!

[berserk224]

lol, it was awsome.

but i thought to myself.. "what if Maria accidently flung of the stairs on accident at 3:27" XD

[Phil19780]

LOL!!!!! THAt would be soo0oo0o0oo0oo funny! That would be AFV Material

[SamuelXavier427]

Too funny, I'm in a production of this show right now in Shaw Theater at Western Michigan University

[corybetts59]

amazing!

Im in a production of this show right now as Riff and this is really inspirational! : D

[ifitoldyoutws]

i love how you guys staged it. very nice!

[YummyZak]

Tony's voice is really good. I definitely don't get why he is smoking a cigarette as he starts singing. I don't think that's Tony's character. I love the ending of this song to. It was incredible.

[ChorallyTuned]

I love Tony's voice! Ah!

[axnamexinxlights]

That was an AMAZING scene. We're doing this show next month. I'm playing Bernardo.

I'd KILL for our scene to look this good.

[ChorallyTuned]

Can't wait to see it!

[degree7]

Wow, that was frickin AWSOME! The singing and choreography was top notch!

[JuliaDarling]

Aaahhh you all hit your T's at the end dead on! That REALLY made my day.... :)

[itlnstalion5154]

my school is doing this play and it is really helping me learn the songs

[luvdrma09]

this is a really REALLY good scene! my school did this show last year...you guy's voices blended so well and the people who played Tony and Maria were OMG soooooo good!

[ShawTheatre]

Thank you, I appreciate your comment :)

[Danny300002]

That was amazing!

[Clarabella45]

Tony has a beautiful voice, it's making me melt! Maria has a lovely tone, very pure, and the ensemble blends really well!

[matsou10]

Wow! that was a great scene! The scenography is amazing, the music stuff is flawless - Tony is really great.

[ShawTheatre]
