Leonard Bernstein's musical update of Romeo and Juliet, with a young Stephen Sondheim's brilliant lyrics, had already galvanized Broadway with its vivid reinvention as a parable of racial intolerance and generational conflict. But director Robert Wise's lavish widescreen presentation broke fresh ground by taking the story to its most impressionable audience, the teenagers who could identify directly with Tony and Maria, and opened up Jerome Robbins's kinetic choreography through bravura camera work. The original soundtrack album was not merely a huge seller but a unique touchstone for an otherwise rock-oriented audience, and its release on CD benefits from an expanded program untenable in its initial LP release, as well as a 20-bit digital transfer. With Richard Beymer, Marni Nixon (Hollywood's vocal doppelgänger of choice, here standing in for Natalie Wood), and Rita Moreno dominating, the show's bounty of terrific songs and exciting instrumental pieces remains an ear-filling treat, mixing operatic passions, tart social commentary, and high comedy. From "Tonight" to "One Hand, One Heart," "America" to "Jet Song," this is a landmark in American musical theatre and film beautifully realized on disc. --Sam Sutherland

I ordered the West Side Story cd and it came in excellent condition. it was sealed and everything and if i find anything else to buy from this seller, i will.

5 out of 5 stars west side story music.......2007-04-14

C.D. in excellent condition, arrived soon after order. OH! Played at full volume--made me long to see the movie again. May just do that. The other reviewers complimented the movie orchestration and sound track--they were right.Nothing like Leonard Bernstein, Marnie Nixon, et.al.

5 out of 5 stars West Side Story CD.......2007-01-24

Great music. Just like I remembered it... but even better. Very lively, great instrumentals, and wonderful voices.

5 out of 5 stars LOVE it.......2007-01-09

This is my favorite musical and I love being able to rip it and have it on my MP3 for car listening.

3 out of 5 stars Buy it for posterity.......2006-12-30

Yes, this is the movie version and is an important part of 1960s pop culture, but it pales in comparison to the Broadway Cast. The sound quality is sub-par, and the voices are nowhere near as strong as the 1957 Cast. The movie also cuts some important music, or rewoks the score until it is completely different from the original. The order was also changed from the original show, and it is hard to listen to for someone that is familiar with the original. Overall, 1957 cast over this one, but buy it for the memories if you must.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Some old favourites, and some unfamiliar, enjoyable voices and songs.......2007-03-11

This compilation has the usual songs that immediately bring the name of composer Victor Herbert to mind - Ah, sweet mystery of life, I'm falling in love with someone and Tramp, tramp, tramp - with such well known voices as those of Macdonald, Eddy and the famous tenors, Richard Crooks, Richard Tauber and Charles Kullmann.

Perhaps of greater interest to many listeners will be the relatively seldom heard artists, such as John McHugh, Florence Easton and Florence George. All three have very pleasant voices and aural personalities.

It is a somewhat mixed delight to hear Amelita Galli-Curci, John McCormack, Alma Gluck and Richard Werrenrath in recordings from the acoustic era. My personal favourite from that group is Galli-Cutci's charming version of A kiss in the dark.

Altogether, a well chosen mixture of the familiar and the out of the way, carefully and well re-recorded.

    Hi... Samuel French, Inc. holds performance rights for this show. Break a leg!

    5 out of 5 stars where do i buy the rights?.......2004-02-05

    Can anyone tell me where i can buy a copy of this play and then later after i review it buy the rights to it? I'm a student director and i need to choose a play for my college debut and i want this one. Can anyone help? this play is awesome!

    5 out of 5 stars great show.......2003-12-17

    this show is just awsome. i was a part of the show this past fall playing the part of Eddie Ryan and it was a blast. The storyline is classic and very funny. The tale of Becky and Eddie falling in love was just great and sister Lee is perfect. this show is amazing and i recomend anyone to either be a part of it and or see it live.
    the cd is very well done. the one thing i did not like about it was the woman playing Becky. wasnt much a fan of her voice, but other than that the show and the cd are perfect extentions to any cd collection.

    5 out of 5 stars Good old-fashioned love story with a couple nuns put in.......2002-06-09

    When I heard my theatre group was doing this show I asked myself "Why are we doing a musical with such a long title?". I couldn't imagine having to say "Yes I'm in Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up?' every time someone asked me what show I was in, but to be honest it was totally worth it. This musical is one where the entire family can enjoy even if you never felt the sting of a nun's ruler or the the headache from the priest's book.

    5 out of 5 stars Long Live Do Black Platent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up!!.......2002-06-08

    Geez. I was so excited to find this cd on amazon.com. Back in the early 90's I had the honor to catch this musical at the Warner Theatre in Washington, DC and immediately fell in love with the story and the cast. Russ Thacker is truly the highlight of the musical but the rest of the cast is excellent!!! If you don't already have it grab it now! Long Live Russ Thacker & DBPLSRRU!

    4 out of 5 stars Beautiful Show.......2006-12-17

    I have not seen this show, but after listening to it the whole way through, I want to very badly. The story is heartbreaking, and the music lends itself so well. At times it can be very spooky almost scary, and then other times as simplisticly beautiful as one could hope for. The music and lyrics are a bit repetitious, but this soundtrack tells the whole story. You can visualize everything going on. Its wonderful. I would suggest this to broadway collectors and just listners alike. Its also one that might be good for those who listen to books on tape, because you really do get the whole story, and it is stunningly beautiful. Favorite Song: "I Wonder What's Inside"

    4 out of 5 stars Jason Petty Does Hank Proud.......2004-09-23

    Hank Williams: Lost Highway is a songbook musical biography of the usual type and one's love of the original performer's music will often dictate one's enjoyment of the CD (although the actual theatrical production can have thrills of its own). What separates this particular CD from many of its brothers and sisters is the quality of the musicians and, most outstandly, Jason Petty in the pivotal role of Hank Williams. It is an imitation of sorts as the role demands but it done with such skill, warmth, and acting chops as to be an unique listening experience in its own right. The CD perfectly captures the strengths of Hank Williams and that is a very good thing.

    4 out of 5 stars "a decade of music that lives on ~ Hank Williams Sr.".......2003-09-29

    Varese Records presents this latest release "Hank Williams: Lost Highway (Original Cast Recording) [CAST RECORDING], featuring Jason Pett, Stephen G. Anthony, Michael W. Howell, Juliet Smith, Margaret Bowman, Myk Watford, Drew Perkins, Michael P. Moran, Tertia Lynch and Russ Wever ~ about one of the greatest composer/artists ever to grace the airwaves. Blending blues, folk, gospel and cowboy tunes into a short career that left a mark on the American scene as we know it today.

    Entire album is a showcase of classic songs "YOUR CHEATIN' HEART", "JAMBALAYA (ON THE BAYOU)","MOVE IT ON OVER", "I SAW THE LIGHT" and "HEY GOOD LOOKIN'" leads the pack with some very talented individuals. Must make mention of Michael W. Howell who has what it takes to put a song over, you really notice when he's on a track ~ great harmony on the reprise of "I SAW THE LIGHT"...gotta love it!

      4 out of 5 stars Okay. Not fabulous. But okay........2003-02-21

      A cute and witty story of women who join a self-help group, some of these songs are beautiful, some upbeat and others purely hilarious. I recommend this to women, teens and comic broadway fans.

      5 out of 5 stars What a treasure.......2000-11-27

      A little known but exciting off Broadway musical that deserves to be seen and heard. I saw it in Los Angeles and in New York. My favorite song is "Never Enough." I can never get enough of "Never Enough." What a talented cast and clever lyrics.

      1 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY THIS CD!!!.......2002-03-28

      The performances are great and both THE MERRY WIDOW and THE DESERT SONG are given very theatrical recordings here.

      The problem is sound quality. These are bootleg Cds dubbed from poor quality 78 RPMS with no attempt to clean up the sound. It is muddy, scratchy, noisy and distant. Also several of the sides were transferred running off-speed!!

      Happily Decca Broadway has sued to have these bogus discs taken off the market and have announced plans to issue these same titles under their own label. Decca owns the original masters so the sound will be much better. Do yourself a favour and wait a few months for the Decca releases, and avoid at all costs this an any other releases from Encore/Box-Office!!

      4 out of 5 stars Robin Hood Revisited.......2001-04-04

      Many years ago, when i was a child, I used to listen to The Desert Song on the original 78 rpm records. Since one song took in an entire record side, I got to be choosy as to what i wanted to hear, and in what order. Somehow, no matter what the record selection might be on the turntable stack, it always included the musical tale of the Red Shadow (aka Paul, the French commander's son), in his quest for justice, love, and adventure in North Africa.

      The Desert Song is one of those old-time musicals that they just don't seem to make any more...perhaps we have become too cynical, too worldly, to believe that once upon a time, people would go out by themselves, shuck off their privilaged existance, get together with a band of loyal henchmen (the Riffs in this case), and right wrongs, chastise villians, win the girl, and reveal their secret identity at the very end....and do all this set to some well-written music, including one of the great polyamorous love ballads of all time - "If One Flower Grows Alone In Your Garden".

      Put some fun, adventure, and old-fashioned idealism back into your life and let yourself be recruited by the Red Shadow and his band, happily roistering in the secret cave hide-out, as they plan their next sorty against the evil-doers of a simpler - and possibly better - world.

      The Merry Widow ain't half bad, either!
