West Side Story

When I was down in Texas a few weeks ago I got to see the musical West Side Story at the amazing Artisan Center Theater. The theater is "in the round" which means the stage is in the middle and the seats are all around. The action takes place on stage as well as next to and even behind the seats. With sections only four rows deep, it felt like we were in the thick of a gang fight.

I gained a whole new appreciation for West Side Story, in fact, I almost cried at the end. The performers were so talented and their voices were amazing. The set was great and the dancing was so well choreographed.
