In Reply to: Where is "West Side Story"? (nt) posted by orejones on October 4, 2005 at 04:26:41:
The music from the movie West Side Story is adapted from the original musical.95% of what you hear in the film was composed as a stage musical. Bernstein added a bit of underscoring but the songs, dances and most of the conective music were composed for the original Broadway production.
Now if somebody did a list of great music from 20th century American Theater and left off West Side Story - then I'd be honked.
