I saw West Side Story (Broadway) on 11/14/10. Overall, I'd say it was a 1-star rating. I'd summarize it by saying “dreadful, slow pacing, underwelming performances especially the male lead who was a terrible singer”

I had a tiring time and left the show feeling bored and exhausted. I'd describe the show as poorly directed, poorly cast, and sad. Don't remember one was a highlight of the show because it was forgettable. If this were a movie, I'd rate it G. I would recommend this show to no one but not to true theatre goers.

I saw this show because I love West Side Store. I wouldn't see it again. I sat in the center orchestra area of the theater. The view was fine and the seats were as expected.
