| .....that that cover represents what is inside their hearts. It captures how they feel and I think to call it "misleading" is kind of cray. It perfectly captures the spirit of songs like "Maria", "Tonight" and "Somewhere". What would you have them doing? Tony giving it to Maria beneath the sheets? Or her sobbing over his bleeding corpse? I think the fantasy option was the best. |

| The show itself even has them in non-literal scenes where this scene could exist, in the Somewhere ballet (one of my favorite pieces of music in the show). | |

| From the script, describing the first section of the ballet, leading into "Somewhere": "Then the apartment itself goes and the two LOVERS begin to run, battering against the walls of the city, breaking through as chaotic figures of the gangs, of the violence flail around them. But they do break through and suddenly — they are in a world of space and air and sun. They stop, looking at it, pleased, startled as BOYS and GIRLS from both sides come on. And they, too, stop and stare, happy, pleased. Their clothes are soft, pastel versions of what they have worn before. They begin to dance, to play: no sides, no hostility now; just joy and pleasure and warmth. More and more join, making a world that TONY and MARIA want to be in, belong to, to share their love with. As they begin the steps of a gently love dance, a GIRL is heard singing:" |
