EP. 46 — West Side Story
Amy & Paul rumble with 1961’s musical Shakespeare riff West Side Story! They compare the film’s colors to modern art, praise the intelligence Rita Moreno brings to Anita, and ask how Elvis would have performed in the lead role. Plus: writer and Stephen Sondheim fan Anthony King (Gutenberg: The Musical) gives us his perspective on where this fits in Sondheim’s career.
