[VIDEO ESSAY] Indisputably the greatest musical ever made, "West Side Story" (1961) has sadly proven socially timeless regarding America's eternally troubled immigrant experience.

El Pais (Spain)
West Side Story is a beautifully-mounted, impressive, emotion-ridden and violent musical which, in its stark approach to a raging social problem and realism of unfoldment, may set a pattern for future musical presentations.

Rating: 5/5 --
It's impossible to begrudge the vertiginous energy and feeling that make this one of the great American musicals, and one radically told through dance.

Jerome Robbins' choreography was as good as the critics said it was, but I was bothered by its unresolved discord with the "real" story.
