Good morning! WEST SIDE STORY SHINES I loved the original West Side Story. Who didn’t revel at this masterpiece featuring Natalie Wood and Rita Moreno? It was a groundbreaking musical on so many levels. Sixty years later, a new version has been released, one that s more timely, appropriate, and creative, employing more Latino actors and having spoken Spanish more of the dialog. I’m a sucker for musical theatre, particularly when it can attract a new generation of viewers. While I still think the first version was a classic, this one was great.
