Spielberg and Kushner made their new version of ''West Side Story'' with great reverence toward the original. They got the blessing and support of the estates of Jerome Robbins, Leonard Bernstein and Arthur Laurents, plus Stephen Sondheim went over the script with Kushner and visited the set.
On his last appearance on ''The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,'' back in September, Sondheim raved: ''It's really terrific. Everybody go. You'll have a good time. For those of you who know [''West Side Story'], there are gonna be some real surprises because Tony Kushner, who wrote the screenplay, has done some really imaginative and surprising things with the way the songs are used in the story. The whole thing has real sparkle and real energy. And it feels fresh. It's really first-rate. Movie musicals are hard to do. And Spielberg and Kushner really nailed it.'' |
