West Side Story

Since “West Side Story” hit the stage, No show could quite compare. Such music, lyrics, dances, plot Are magical and rare. The gorgeous tunes you can’t forget Are Bernstein at his best And Sondheim’s words would leave the world’s Top poets most impressed. The choreography delights With every Robbins move And Arthur Laurents told the tale; Will Shakespeare would approve. I saw the play again today; It never lets me down, Deserving every accolade That’s earned it its renown.

BRAVO Ilene! Seamless cadence and deft rhyming... trademarks of your marvelous style. I feel the same about South Pacific... there isn't a song on the whole soundtrack I don't like. 7 Points! (PS I forgot to give you 7 for the Henry story... sorry! :() Best wishes, Keith

oh how I envy you. I ADORE this show. I saw it on the big screen when I was around 8 years old. It stayed in my mind as my favorite musical from the 60's from the era of my early childhood.Nice poem,dear.
