I like WSS. I have even seen it live on stage. Mr. KP fell asleep during it, so I shouldn't have to elaborate on his feelings towards it.

Am I the only one? Don't answer that! Nosh, that's where I got it from! You can see the Channel Thirteen logo on the bottom right. Actually, none of the Puerto Ricans look hispanic at all. So Tony would fit in just fine. I didn’t, Mid, but I do love Norm Macdonald. Am I the only one? Don’t answer that!

Because of course I was watching TV. Is it just me, or does the actor who plays Tony look like he could be part of either gang? No Netflix needed, it was on PBS here last Saturday night!

Then he looks at them and said "What the hell was that? You guys were dancing?"

I'm shocked, shocked. RN, lady, where you been? I changed it in January! I even posted that I changed it. Oh, the humanity. We were all a lot younger in 1961. Particularly me because I wasn't born yet. What, it was a set? I’m shocked, shocked.

We were all a lot younger in 1961. Particularly me because I wasn’t born yet.

Plus, those nice gang-member boys all danced so well, and their girlfriends sang just like Marni Nixon. Wow, Rita Moreno was a lot younger in 1961, wasn’t she?

West Side Story takes place on the site of what is now Lincoln Center and the Fordham Campus and the housing developments in the West 60s. Or at least, the stylized Hollywood set is supposed to represent that area of Manhattan.
