The reason I came here was to read up on critical responses to the current Broadway revival, but all I could find was lists of pending awards for which the show has been nominated. Am I missing something? A different WP page, perhaps? 2604:2000:1580:425C:1920:48F:A553:49A1 (talk) 23:08, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

The NYT panned the production, and other reviews ranged from confused to angry concerning the cuts, direction (especially the videos), casting and choreography. The cast was mostly praised. Some reviews are now cited in the article. It seems that the production may not reopen, particularly as Disney would prefer that its upcoming more traditional film version not have to compete with the marketing of the controversial stage production; Diller and other financiers of the musical are friends of Spielberg. See this. -- Ssilvers (talk) 15:32, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

"West Side" wikilink and surrounding wording

There've been a few edits in the lede around the linking of "west side" and surrounding text:

• : in the Upper West Side of New York City
• : in the West Side of New York City
• (my edit): in the west side of Manhattan
• : in the Upper West Side of Manhattan in New York City

I don't have any particular dog in this fight; except that whatever is settled on should not link to West Side (a disambiguation page); that was my motivation to edit. TJRC (talk) 02:14, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

I agree that #2 was either vandalism or just a bad edit. If you had just reverted to the stable version, that would have been helpful. -- Ssilvers (talk) 02:20, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

This article isn't on my watchlist. I just noticed the error and made a correction, without plumbing into its history. Again, I'm not attached to that particular repair. TJRC (talk) 19:30, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

Well, that's one way to avoid a role you don't want

"Laurents wanted James Dean for the lead role of Tony, but the actor soon died."

Seriously, the wording there is a bit awkward; could be improved. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.95.43.253 (talk) 01:57, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
