Anonymous asked: OK, I confess that I have been twitching with desire for Amazon to send me the following new book - Our Story Jets and Sharks Then and Now - As Told By Cast Members From the Movie West Side Story. I ordered it before year's end and I can't wait to read it.
Anonymous asked: What exactly would be involved in a "confession"?

Which btw is a word Arthur Laurents invented for the production.

I'm sorry, but REALLY?!
So I was scrolling around looking for some reblogs of West Side Story stuff…and I found a girl who posted a video of “Tonight”. In the caption she writes, “Oh my god, when Chino kisses her hand at 1:00 I just MELT! LOVE THIS SHOW!” I’m sorry..what? THAT’S TONY. ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW.
I can see how ANY fan would just let it slip their mind that the...
