Re: West Side Story

It's hard to believe that the show opened fifty years ago. I played the show in a summer tent version in 1967, many years later I subbed on the Broadway revival that starred Debbie Allen. Gino Bozzaco, THE original Broadway cast album lead player, played lead on the revival.
I was the lead player on the studio recording with Bernstein. A new version of that date just came out. It has the DVD and the CD in one package for under 30 dollars. I bought a few copies to give to friends.
The studio version is different from any of the others.
