BWW Interview: Music Supervisor Donald Chan Talks WEST SIDE STORY International Tour
by Jared Echevarria - Aug 25, 2017
The spirit of every musical theater production is its score. If a musical makes an audience hum its show tunes at the end of the show, then it served its purpose of prime entertainment. Such is the case of the phenomenal 'West Side Story' with its music enchantingly created by Leonard Bernstein, one of the first American conductors to be known the world over. With such a distinct mark in music history, Bernstein's music stands out and must be meticulously executed with justice and diligence.

BWW Reviews: 'West Side Story' Deutsche Oper Berlin
by Marcel Konrath - Jun 27, 2012
Mit der Urauffuhrung von WEST SIDE STORY wird die Musiktheater-Geschichte neu geschrieben: mutig, realistisch und vital. Kommenden Sommer ist der Broadway-Klassiker endlich wieder an den großen Buhnen Deutschlands zu erleben - randvoll mit unvergesslichen Songs wie Maria, Tonight, Somewhere, America, und I Feel Pretty und mit der Originalchoreografie von Jerome Robbins. Allein in dieser preisgekronten Inszenierung ist dieser wesentliche Teil des Meisterwerks auf weltweiter Tournee zu erleben. Und das in einer Produktion, die anlasslich des funfzigjahrigen Jubilaums der WEST SIDE STORY Publikum und Kritik in Atem hielt. Am Sadler's Wells Theatre in London, am Theatre du Chatelet in Paris, in Sydney, Tokio, Peking und Wien sorgte sie fur ausverkaufte Hauser.
