Is this theater story true?
Posted by: theaterbear 01:11 am EDT 08/30/21

I remember hearing a story years back about how one night, during the final scene of West Side Story (the 1980 revival) Josie DeGuzman's Maria was doing the "How many can I kill?" scene and the gun accidentally went off - causing a couple of the Jets to try and cover the mistake by hitting the floor as if they'd been shot. Unfortunately, those same Jet boys were supposed to assist carrying Tony off so the Shark Girls kind of dragged him off while Office Krupke cuffed Maria.

Is ANY of this true? There are so many theater stories floating around that are either pure fiction, attributed to the wrong performer, or just embellished to the point of farce - so I'd love to know!!
