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.

Variety
Rating: 4/5 --
Special mention, though, should go to Boris Leven's neo-expressionist production design and Daniel L Fapp's forceful cinematography: the crooked angles, pointed shadows and great swashes of red all heighten the mood of rabid fury.

A radiant and touching performance by Natalie Wood as a Puerto Rican beauty in a New York slum is only one of the many strong points of this superb musical drama...

Maclean's Magazine
Natalie Wood, who was made a hit in the Kazan-Inge production of Splendor In the Grass and is the most promising young star of today, gives a fine dramatic performance.

Both Miss Wood and Miss Moreno are permitted to work up fine fervors in their acting, and they come through.

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.
