PLAY REVIEW ON WEST SIDE STORY

Drama Play Review on 
West Side Story
The musical Play that I did my review on was West Side Story by Jerome Robbins. I saw
this play at the Woodland High School with my family. We went to see it because my older
brother, Nick was in it. 
Thinking about the overall production, I liked that it was about two gangs fighting over
their "turf " as they called it. It was cool because it showed me what simple lives they
had but ending up in a tragic ending. I also liked how they seemed to have an accurate
perception of what each of the gangs' whore and what they acted like. The setting of the
background stood for all the scenes and purposes of they play and it was like a real
place in a city. I thought that was pretty cool. 
Thinking about the overall production, I disliked how they had so many singing scenes and
that sort of got boring so I wouldn't come back and see it again. I also thought that
some of they parts should have been played by the other characters (not naming any
names). If I were to do things differently as the director I would have watched the movie
and made a better selection who could fit the character better and who would better as a
different part in the play. Overall it turned out to be really good but those would have
been the changes that I would have made.
A character that I did not like was Maria. She did well as the character but she didn't
really fit the part. I don't want to be mean but that is just my opinion. Another person
that I didn't like was Riff. He seemed to over act a little too much but he still did a
good job (better than I could have done) playing the part. A person that I did like was
Action. He played a good part because he acted wild and gave me the feeling that he was
really that sort of person. He would always go wild when something came up and never calm
down except when Tony or Riff ordered him to.
If I were a drama critic for a newspaper I would not recommend this play for little kids
because they might find it hard to understand. I would recommend this to all older kids
and adults because it is one of those classic stories come to life on stage. I would
recommend that they see it while they still can.
