West Side Story (Broadway) NYC Reviews and Tickets

See it if you love adaptive theater, want something new, like updated choreography, are interested in technology+theater, like young casts.

Don't see it if you are true to the original, you have motion sickness, are triggered by gun shots, hate the original score, need breaks to stretch.

See it if you want to see great performances. That's it, great singing and acting. The staging and use of the screen are distracting.

Don't see it if you'd rather a musical than a movie. The use of the screen detracted from the action on stage. Or if sexual assault is a trigger for you.

See it if I was super glad to see a more diverse cast, lots of great singing and choreography.

Don't see it if this is still a play about POC written by white folk with lots of fake face tats + videos of the cast walking in alleys making 'gang' poses.

See it if You want to see a trainwreck of a timeless and beautiful classic musical

Don't see it if You want an enjoyable and traditional version of the beloved classic Read more

See it if you don't mind it being more movie than musical.

Don't see it if you can't bear to see a classic show "modernized" for now.

See it if with low expectations. Although a great cast and performances; very difficult to adapt to the staging.

Don't see it if A lot of time you spend watching the screen and not the artists in real life.

See it if You are curious to see what they have done to a classic. Interesting use of projections.

Don't see it if You loved the original play or movie. The projections distract audience away from actors. Who is a Jet who is a Shark confusing. Read more

See it if You like the show and can block out bad production choices.

Don't see it if You like a good production. Sadly this West Side cut I Feel Pretty and had weak performances.
