## Description

The original Broadway cast recording of West Side Story had already proved to be a major success on both sides of the Atlantic, but the eventual release of the film soundtrack took the show to an even higher level. Starring Natalie Wood as Maria (although for the purposes of the film, it is Maria Nunez who does the singing) and Richard Beymer as Tony (with Jimmy Bryant providing the singing voice), West Side Story was both a box office success and smash hit record. In Britain, the album would top the chart for 13 weeks and spend more than three years on the listings (including a run of 142 consecutive weeks during which time it spent only one week outside the Top Ten), even as Merseybeat began its rise to popularity. The winner of more Academy Awards than any other musical film in history, West Side Story has retained its appeal in the fifty years or so since original release.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hooray for Hollywood over Broadway!
*by L***R on July 18, 2015*

This is the movie cast, not a Broadway production.  Probably what we all know better, and good enough for me.  I never tire of hearing Marnie Nixon sound like the woman she sings for.  (She does Natalie Wood's voice here, as she did Deborah Kerr in "The King and I" movie and Audrey Hepburn in the "My Fair Lady" movie, among others.)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ West Side Music
*by S***X on September 6, 2018*

I loved this movie and the play. I had the LP of this and broke it. I love the music and the stars.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Greater than great
*by B***M on April 8, 2010*

The great orchestra conductor and composer, Leonard Bernstein, never got over this one fact:  that his great accomplishment in composition was not one of his later classical opuses but rather the music score to a Broadway play.  But, it's true, and this musical score is as close to perfection as any.  The Hollywood treatment, replacing good Broadway voices with great operatic uncredited singers, only made things better.Blending the jazz of the time with a light rock motif, the score is haunting, timeless, and a perfect partner with the lyrics, also close to perfection. Stephen Sondheim's lyrics were not nearly as good as the score, but he had the more difficult duty of combining the music interludes with the plot.  For instance, when Maria is chastised by her friends as being "in an advanced state of shock", those terms were not normally uttered by high school dropouts.  That was just a case of the lyricist having forgotten the subject of the lyrics. But, save for the occasional error, the score, lyrics, and overtures were great, or perhaps greater than great...
