Oh, the rain. Caused at least 2 injuries that took cast members out of the show, yes? That's a set that was a little too expensive indeed.

Yep, and the first injury delayed opening by (I think) six weeks, which created the opportunity for He-Who-Shall-Not to push the show into “next season”, which at the very least cost Isaac Powell a well-deserved Tony nomination (and potential win opposite Aaron Tveit, who sings the role beautifully but kind of forgets to act).

Isaac Powell's mid-December knee injury postponed ''West Side Story's'' opening by 2 weeks. It opened Feb. 20, instead of Feb. 6.

The delay cost Powell a deserved nomination, but I still think the Tony would've gone to Aaron Tveit, who, I believe, sings AND acts beautifully. ;)

The other major injury was Ben Cook, who left the production entirely after that.

And Ben Cook can be seen as Mouthpiece, one of the Jets, in Spielberg's ''West Side Story.'' Can't miss him in ''Gee, Officer Krupke.''
