To just love, love, love West Side Story?

[BegoniaBampot]

Just saw a excerpt on Film 2013 and has made me want to watch it again (and i've been on the vino'! LOVE IT!

The sixties version? I love it too.

Also played the score, it was so bloody exciting and has the.best.horn.solo.ever.

MAMBO!

me too, dp hates it when i turn it on youtube after a few vinos. but the whole film is on there

Yabu to watch Claudia Annoying Winkleman. Bring back Wossy! :(

Love the movie though.

Boy, boy, crazy boy, get loose boy. Easy does it turn off your juice boy. Go man go but not like a crazy schoolboy. Just play it cool boy, reeeal coooool!

Yes, I really hate it.... Too much going on music wise it really annoys me!

I loved the Sharks.

The rooftop dance America! was just fab

Yanbu. I'd like to play Anita. "A boy like that - he keeeled your brrrother..."

Sole! I am going to be singing that in my head now as I go to sleep.

Ooh, i'll get you back- Officer Krupky...

Mwahahahaha.

I love it! I particularly like the opening scene where the boys seemlessly segue into dance...I was driving past a group of lads in hoodies the other day, all hunched and lolloping, and I swear they looked like they were about to do exactly the same thing .

Just love all the WOWS and POWS! Keep expecting Batman and Robin to appear doing a little nifty pas de deux!

Utterly love this, it's so clever, and so political.

I helped with a production of this with a Youth Theatre Group about four years ago. It was really hard work but so much fun. The boys really got into the gang thing (in a very musical theatre way!)

Brilliant BOF!

Oh Puerto Rico,
You lovely island . . .
Island of tropical breezes.
Always the pineapples growing,
Always the coffee blossoms blowing . . .

Puerto Rico . . .
You ugly island . . .
Island of tropic diseases.
Always the hurricanes blowing,
Always the population growing . . .
And the money owing,
And the babies crying,
And the bullets flying.
I like the island Manhattan.

Smoke on your pipe
And put that in!

I love it too, might have to watch it again soon.

On Film 2013 ??? Have they finally remade it ???

I can't stand the version I have on film - it just ruins what is possibly the best musical EVER. I've seen it on stage a few times oveer the years - from school productions to professional, and each and every one has been fantastic, but putting ballet moves for gangs - it really was a big mistake.

Such fab music though. Great way to do Romeo and Juliet too, for those who are a bit harder to engage with 16th Century Literature!

YANBU. I love it.

Actually, I haven't forced it on introduced my DDs to it yet, a plan for weekend I think!

Sorrel - was checking and couldn't believe I missed that line to! mumsnet needs an edit function!

Backford - are you talking about the 60's movie? If so be gone from my thread, you philistine!

It's coming on the Liverpool Empire soon- I think I'll try to get tickets for me and my mum and dd1 to see it.

I'd love to see it on stage.

Have a look here then

Ooooh, didn't know there was a production on the go. TA much!

YANBU. I saw the original film but with a live orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall last year for the 50th anniversary (I think). Still absolutely amazing and very emotional when the audience went crazy clapping and cheering for long dead performers and contributors when the credits rolled.

Funnily enough my Dd 15 finally got round to watching last night (thank you glee) and loved it.
The film is brilliant and have loved it since i was a little girl.

Yes indeed. Saw this on the big screen two years ago and it was great. I now have the bluray and the picture and sound are cracking!

I love it. My fave is Tonight
