West Side Story is no doubt my favorite musical ever written, and WVLO definitely did it justice. Many great scenes, my favorite were the opening Jets/Sharks scene, Maria, the Tonight quintet, the Somewhere ballet, I Have A Love, and the final scene. The video screens left me with mixed feelings. I had seen the recent Broadway production of Guys and Dolls where video screens were used to great effect, so I entered the theater with high hopes. When the screen was used for transitioning, I really enjoyed it and felt as if I was actually in New York City. However, during Maria and One Hand, One Heart, it gave the impression of a bad PowerPoint. The orchestra was quite pleasing to listen to, except that many of the tempi were either too slow or too fast for my taste. The costumes were very well-made. This was a wonderful evening out, and at times, gave me the thrill I felt when I saw it on Broadway. Quite a professional show for an amateur company. Collapse

Blame an awful director/production staff for this disaster of a show. It is cruel that your cast has to be connected to such a mess. The video was a complete mess and I found my self actually laugh out loud due to how awful it was. Maybe if the video wasn't so sloppy it would have been an okay idea. The majority of everyone were just plain awkward to watch whcih is due to bad casting and direction. Stand out performers:Isaac Benelli (Gorgeous singing voice),Jennifer Maggio(a true highlight of the show),Raul Martinez,Don Masuda, Danielle Najmeh,Brian Palac, Sam Stidham,Maegan Bace and Brett Carlson (fun tricks on the set). Most of the rest were mostly just hard to watch, including a girl that our group swore was a man for most of the show. Bad concept. Sorry! Collapse
