href="/wiki/Jerome_Robbins" title="Jerome Robbins">Jerome Robbins</a> approached Leonard Bernstein and Arthur Laurents about collaborating on a contemporary musical adaptation of Romeo and Juliet.<a

The girl has survived the <a href="/wiki/Holocaust" class="mw-redirect" title="Holocaust">Holocaust</a> and emigrated from Israel; the conflict was to be centered on <a href="/wiki/Antisemitism" title="Antisemitism">antisemitism</a> of the Catholic "Jets" towards the Jewish "Emeralds" (a name that made its way into the script as a reference).<a href="#cite_note-Bernstein-5">[5]</a> Eager to write his first musical, Laurents immediately agreed. Bernstein wanted to present the material in operatic form, but Robbins and Laurents resisted the suggestion. They described the project as "lyric theater", and Laurents wrote a first draft he called East Side Story. Only after he completed it did the group realize it was little more than a musicalization of themes that had already been covered in plays like <a href="/wiki/Abie%27s_Irish_Rose" title="Abie's Irish Rose">Abie's Irish Rose</a>. When Robbins opted to drop out, the three men went their separate ways, and the piece was shelved for almost five years.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELaurents2000329%E2%80%93330-6">[6]</a><a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a> In 1955, theatrical producer <a href="/wiki/Martin_Gabel" title="Martin Gabel">Martin Gabel</a> was working on a stage adaptation of the <a href="/wiki/James_M._Cain" title="James M. Cain">James M. Cain</a> novel Serenade, about an opera singer who comes to the realization he is homosexual, and he invited Laurents to write the book. Laurents accepted and suggested Bernstein and Robbins join the creative team. Robbins felt if the three were going to join forces, they should return to East Side Story, and Bernstein agreed. Laurents, however, was committed to Gabel, who introduced him to the young composer/lyricist <a href="/wiki/Stephen_Sondheim" title="Stephen Sondheim">Stephen Sondheim</a>. Sondheim auditioned by playing the score for <a href="/wiki/Saturday_Night_(musical)" title="Saturday Night (musical)">Saturday Night</a>, his musical that was scheduled to open in the fall. Laurents liked the lyrics but was not impressed with the music. Sondheim did not care for Laurents' opinion. Serenade ultimately was shelved.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELaurents2000334-8">[8]</a> Laurents was soon hired to write the screenplay for a <a href="/wiki/Remake" title="Remake">remake</a> of the 1934 <a href="/wiki/Greta_Garbo" title="Greta Garbo">Greta Garbo</a> film <a href="/wiki/The_Painted_Veil_(1934_film)" title="The Painted Veil (1934 film)">The Painted Veil</a> for <a href="/wiki/Ava_Gardner" title="Ava Gardner">Ava Gardner</a>. While in Hollywood, he contacted Bernstein, who was in town conducting at the <a href="/wiki/Hollywood_Bowl" title="Hollywood Bowl">Hollywood Bowl</a>. The two met at <a href="/wiki/The_Beverly_Hills_Hotel" title="The Beverly Hills Hotel">The Beverly Hills Hotel</a>, and the conversation turned to juvenile delinquent gangs, a fairly recent social phenomenon that had received major coverage on the front pages of the morning newspapers due to a <a href="/wiki/Chicano" title="Chicano">Chicano</a> turf war. Bernstein suggested they rework East Side Story and set it in Los Angeles, but Laurents felt he was more familiar with <a href="/wiki/Puerto_Ricans_in_the_United_States" class="mw-redirect" title="Puerto Ricans in the United States">Puerto Ricans in the United States</a> and <a href="/wiki/Harlem" title="Harlem">Harlem</a> than he was with <a href="/wiki/Mexican_Americans" title="Mexican Americans">Mexican Americans</a> and <a href="/wiki/Olvera_Street" title="Olvera Street">Olvera Street</a>. The two contacted Robbins, who was enthusiastic about a musical with a Latin beat. He arrived in Hollywood to choreograph the dance sequences for the 1956 film <a href="/wiki/The_King_and_I_(1956_film)" title="The King and I (1956 film)">The King and I</a>, and he and Laurents began developing the musical while working on their respective projects, keeping in touch with Bernstein, who had returned to New York. When the producer of The Painted Veil replaced Gardner with <a href="/wiki/Eleanor_Parker" title="Eleanor Parker">Eleanor Parker</a> and asked Laurents to revise his script with her in mind, he backed out of the film, freeing him to devote all his time to the stage musical.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELaurents2000336%E2%80%93343-9">[9]</a> Bernstein and Laurents, who had been <a href="/wiki/Hollywood_blacklist" title="Hollywood blacklist">blacklisted</a> for alleged communist activities, worked with Robbins even though he had cooperated with the <a href="/wiki/House_Un-American_Activities_Committee" title="House Un-American Activities Committee">House Un-American Activities Committee</a>.<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Collaboration_and_development">Collaboration and development</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=West_Side_Story&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Collaboration and development" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> In New York City, Laurents went to the opening night party for a new play by <a href="/wiki/Ugo_Betti" title="Ugo Betti">Ugo Betti</a>. There he met Sondheim, who had heard that East Side Story, now retitled West Side Story, was back on track. Bernstein had decided he needed to concentrate solely on the music, and he and Robbins had invited <a href="/wiki/Betty_Comden" title="Betty Comden">Betty Comden</a> and <a href="/wiki/Adolph_Green" title="Adolph Green">Adolph Green</a> to write the lyrics, but the team opted to work on <a href="/wiki/Peter_Pan_(1954_musical)" title="Peter Pan (1954 musical)">Peter Pan</a> instead. Laurents asked Sondheim if he would be interested in tackling the task. Initially he resisted, because he was determined to write the full score for his next project (Saturday Night had been scrapped). But <a href="/wiki/Oscar_Hammerstein_II" title="Oscar Hammerstein II">Oscar Hammerstein</a> convinced him that he would benefit from the experience, and he accepted.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELaurents2000346%E2%80%93347-11">[11]</a> Meanwhile, Laurents had written a new draft of the book changing the characters' backgrounds: the male lead, once an Irish American, was now of Polish and Irish descent, and the formerly Jewish female lead had become Puerto Rican.<a href="#cite_note-factsheet-12">[12]</a> The original book Laurents wrote closely adhered to Romeo and Juliet, but the characters based on Shakespeare's <a href="/wiki/Rosaline" title="Rosaline">Rosaline</a> and the parents of the doomed lovers were eliminated early on. Later the scenes related to Juliet's faking her death and committing suicide also were deleted. Language posed a problem; <a href="/wiki/Profanity" title="Profanity">profanity</a> was uncommon in the theater at the time, and slang expressions were avoided for fear they would be dated by the time the production opened. Laurents ultimately invented what sounded like real street talk but actually was not: "cut the frabba-jabba", for example.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELaurents2000349-13">[13]</a> Sondheim converted long passages of dialogue, and sometimes just a simple phrase like "A boy like that would kill your brother", into lyrics. With the help of Oscar Hammerstein, Laurents convinced Bernstein and Sondheim to move "One Hand, One Heart", which he considered too pristine for the balcony scene, to the scene set in the bridal shop, and as a result "Tonight" was written to replace it. Laurents felt that the building tension needed to be alleviated in order to increase the impact of the play's tragic outcome, so comic relief in the form of Officer Krupke was added to the second act. He was outvoted on other issues: he felt the lyrics to "<a href="/wiki/America_(West_Side_Story_song)" title="America (West Side Story song)">America</a>" and "<a href="/wiki/I_Feel_Pretty" title="I Feel Pretty">I Feel Pretty</a>" were too witty for the characters singing them, but they stayed in the score and proved to be audience favorites. Another song, "Kid Stuff", was added and quickly removed during the Washington, D.C., tryout when Laurents convinced the others it was helping tip the balance of the show into typical musical comedy.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELaurents2000350%E2%80%93351-14">[14]</a> Bernstein composed West Side Story and <a href="/wiki/Candide_(operetta)" title="Candide (operetta)">Candide</a> concurrently, which led to some switches of material between the two works.<a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a> Tony and Maria's duet, "One Hand, One Heart", was originally intended for Cunegonde in Candide.

Robbins was involved with <a href="/wiki/Bells_Are_Ringing_(musical)" title="Bells Are Ringing (musical)">Bells Are Ringing</a>, then Bernstein with <a href="/wiki/Candide_(operetta)" title="Candide (operetta)">Candide</a>, and in January 1957 A Clearing in the Woods, Laurents' latest play, opened and quickly closed.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELaurents2000351%E2%80%93352-18">[18]</a> When a backers' audition failed to raise any money for West Side Story late in the spring of 1957, only two months before the show was to begin rehearsals, producer <a href="/wiki/Cheryl_Crawford" title="Cheryl Crawford">Cheryl Crawford</a> pulled out of the project.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELaurents2000326%E2%80%93328-19">[19]</a> Every other producer had already turned down the show, deeming it too dark and depressing.

Robbins then announced he did not want to choreograph the show, but changed his mind when Prince agreed to an eight-week dance rehearsal period (instead of the customary four), since there was to be more dancing in West Side Story than in any previous Broadway show,<a href="#cite_note-Bibliography-16">[16]</a> and allowed Robbins to hire <a href="/wiki/Peter_Gennaro" title="Peter Gennaro">Peter Gennaro</a> as his assistant.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELaurents2000354%E2%80%93356-21">[21]</a> Originally, when considering the cast, Laurents wanted <a href="/wiki/James_Dean" title="James Dean">James Dean</a> for the lead role of Tony, but the actor soon died. Sondheim found <a href="/wiki/Larry_Kert" title="Larry Kert">Larry Kert</a> and <a href="/wiki/Chita_Rivera" title="Chita Rivera">Chita Rivera</a>, who created the roles of Tony and Anita, respectively. Getting the work on stage was still not easy. Bernstein said: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"><blockquote class="templatequote">Everyone told us that [West Side Story] was an impossible project ... And we were told no one was going to be able to sing <a href="/wiki/Augmented_fourth" class="mw-redirect" title="Augmented fourth">augmented fourths</a>, as with "Ma-ri-a" ... Also, they said the score was too rangy for pop music ... Besides, who wanted to see a show in which the first-act curtain comes down on two dead bodies lying on the stage?... And then we had the really tough problem of casting it, because the characters had to be able not only to sing but dance and act and be taken for teenagers. Ultimately, some of the cast were teenagers, some were 21, some were 30 but looked 16. Some were wonderful singers but couldn't dance very well, or vice versa ... and if they could do both, they couldn't act.<a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a></blockquote> Throughout the rehearsal period, the New York newspapers were filled with articles about gang warfare, keeping the show's plot timely. Robbins kept the cast members playing the Sharks and the Jets separate in order to discourage them from socializing with each other and reminded everyone of the reality of gang violence by posting news stories on the bulletin board backstage.<a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a> Robbins wanted a gritty realism from his sneaker- and jeans-clad cast. He gave the ensemble more freedom than Broadway dancers had previously been given to interpret their roles, and the dancers were thrilled to be treated like actors instead of just choreographed bodies.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELaurents2000357%E2%80%93358-24">[24]</a> As the rehearsals wore on, Bernstein fought to keep his score together, as other members of the team called on him to cut out more and more of the sweeping or complex "operatic" passages.<a href="#cite_note-Bibliography-16">[16]</a> <a href="/wiki/Columbia_Records" title="Columbia Records">Columbia Records</a> initially declined to record the <a href="/wiki/Cast_album" class="mw-redirect" title="Cast album">cast album</a>, saying the score was too depressing and too difficult.<a href="#cite_note-Bernstein-5">[5]</a> There were problems with <a href="/wiki/Oliver_Smith_(designer)" title="Oliver Smith (designer)">Oliver Smith</a>'s designs.

Bernstein magnanimously removed his name as co-author of the lyrics, although Sondheim was uncertain he wanted to receive sole credit for what he considered to be overly florid contributions by Bernstein. Robbins demanded and received a "Conceived by" credit, and used it to justify his making major decisions regarding changes in the show without consulting the others. As a result, by opening night on Broadway, none of his collaborators were talking to him.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELaurents2000362%E2%80%93365-26">[26]</a> It has been rumored that while Bernstein was off trying to fix the musical Candide, Sondheim wrote some of the music for West Side Story, and that Bernstein's co-lyricist billing mysteriously disappeared from the credits of West Side Story during the tryout, presumably as a trade-off.<a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a> However, <a href="/wiki/Steven_Suskin" title="Steven Suskin">Steven Suskin</a> writes in Show Tunes that "as the writing progressed and the extent of Bernstein's lyric contributions became less, the composer agreed to rescind his credit. ...

Police officers Krupke and Lt. Schrank warn them to stop fighting on their beat. The police chase the Sharks off, and then the Jets plan how they can assure their continued dominance of the street. The Jets' leader, Riff, suggests setting up a rumble with the Sharks. He plans to make the challenge to Bernardo, the Sharks' leader, that night at the neighborhood dance. Riff wants to convince his best friend and former member of the Jets, Tony, to meet the Jets at the dance. Some of the Jets are unsure of his loyalty, but Riff is adamant that Tony is still one of them ("Jet Song"). Riff meets Tony while he's working at Doc's Drugstore to persuade him to come. Tony initially refuses, but Riff wins him over. Tony is convinced that something important is round the corner ("<a href="/wiki/Something%27s_Coming_(song)" title="Something's Coming (song)">Something's Coming</a>").

They dance together, forgetting the tension in the room, and fall in love, but Bernardo pulls his sister from Tony and sends her home. Riff and Bernardo agree to meet for a War Council at Doc's, a drug store which is considered neutral ground, but meanwhile, an infatuated and happy Tony finds Maria's building and serenades her outside her bedroom ("<a href="/wiki/Maria_(West_Side_Story_song)" title="Maria (West Side Story song)">Maria</a>"). She appears on her fire escape, and the two profess their love for one another ("<a href="/wiki/Tonight_(West_Side_Story_song)" title="Tonight (West Side Story song)">Tonight</a>").

Maria counters by telling Anita how powerful love is ("I Have a Love"), and Anita realizes that Maria loves Tony as much as she had loved Bernardo. She admits that Chino has a gun and is looking for Tony. Lt. Schrank arrives to question Maria about her brother's death, and Anita agrees to go to Doc's to warn Tony that Maria will be late. Unfortunately, the Jets, who have found Tony, have congregated at Doc's, and they taunt Anita with racist slurs and eventually attempt rape. Doc arrives and stops them. Furious, Anita spitefully delivers the wrong message, telling the Jets that Chino has shot Maria dead. Doc relates the news to Tony, who has been dreaming of heading to the countryside to have children with Maria. Feeling there is no longer anything to live for, Tony leaves to find Chino, begging for him to shoot him as well. Just as Tony sees Maria alive, Chino arrives and shoots Tony. The Jets, Sharks, and adults flock around the lovers. Maria holds Tony in her arms (and sings a quiet, brief reprise of "Somewhere") as he dies. Angry at the death of another friend, the Jets move towards the Sharks but Maria takes Chino's gun and tells everyone that "all of [them]" killed Tony and the others because of their hate for each other, and, "Now I can kill too, because now I have hate!" she yells. However, she is unable to bring herself to fire the gun and drops it, crying in grief. Gradually, all the members of both gangs assemble on either side of Tony's body, showing that the feud is over. The Jets and Sharks form a procession, and together carry Tony away, with Maria the last one in the procession. </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading"

Director, choreographer, and idea-man Jerome Robbins has put together, and then blasted apart, the most savage, restless, electrifying dance patterns we've been exposed to in a dozen seasons .... the show rides with a catastrophic roar over the spider-web fire-escapes, the shadowed trestles, and the plain dirt battlegrounds of a big city feud ... there is fresh excitement in the next debacle, and the next. When a gang leader advises his cohorts to play it "Cool", the intolerable tension between an effort at control and the instinctive drives of these potential killers is stingingly graphic. When the knives come out, and bodies begin to fly wildly through space under buttermilk clouds, the sheer visual excitement is breathtaking .... Mr. Bernstein has permitted himself a few moments of graceful, lingering melody: in a yearning "Maria", in the hushed falling line of "Tonight", in the wistful declaration of "I Have a Love". But for the most part he has served the needs of the onstage threshing machine ... When hero Larry Kert is stomping out the visionary insistence of "Something's Coming" both music and tumultuous story are given their due. Otherwise it's the danced narrative that takes urgent precedence ...</blockquote> The other reviews generally joined in speculation about how the new work would influence the course of musical theater. Typical was John Chapman's review in the <a href="/wiki/New_York_Daily_News" title="New York Daily News">New York Daily News</a> on September 27, 1957, headed: "West Side Story a Splendid and Super-Modern Musical Drama". <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"><blockquote class="templatequote">The American theatre took a venturesome forward step when the firm of Griffith & Prince presented West Side Story at the Winter Garden last evening. This is a bold new kind of musical theatre – a juke-box Manhattan opera. It is, to me, extraordinarily exciting ... the manner of telling the story is a provocative and artful blend of music, dance and plot – and the music and the dancing are superb. In [the score], there is the drive, the bounce, the restlessness and the sweetness of our town. It takes up the American musical idiom where it was left when <a href="/wiki/George_Gershwin" title="George Gershwin">George Gershwin</a> died.

Robbins' energetic choreography and Bernstein's grand score accentuated the satiric, hard-edged lyrics of Sondheim, and Laurents' capture of the angry voice of urban youth. The play was criticized for glamorizing gangs, and its portrayal of Puerto Ricans and lack of authentic Latin casting were weaknesses.<a href="#cite_note-Gianoulis-98">[98]</a> Yet, the same writer commented, the song "America" shows the triumph of the spirit over the obstacles often faced by immigrants. The musical also made points in its description of troubled youth and the devastating effects of poverty and racism. Juvenile delinquency is seen as an ailment of society: "No one wants a fella with a social disease!" The writer concluded: "On the cusp of the 1960s, American society, still recovering from the enormous upheaval of World War II, was seeking stability and control".<a href="#cite_note-Gianoulis-98">[98]</a> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(8)"><h2 id="Score">Score</h2> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=West_Side_Story&action=edit&section=22" title="Edit section: Score" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div><section class="mf-section-8 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-8"> Bernstein's score for West Side Story blends "jazz, Latin rhythms, symphonic sweep and musical-comedy conventions in groundbreaking ways for Broadway".<a href="#cite_note-Berson-99">[99]</a> It was <a href="/wiki/Orchestrated" class="mw-redirect" title="Orchestrated">orchestrated</a> by <a href="/wiki/Sid_Ramin" title="Sid Ramin">Sid Ramin</a> and <a href="/wiki/Irwin_Kostal" title="Irwin Kostal">Irwin Kostal</a> following detailed instructions from Bernstein, who then wrote revisions on their manuscript (the original, heavily annotated by Ramin, Kostal and Bernstein, is in the Rare Books and Manuscripts Library at Columbia University).<a href="#cite_note-100">[100]</a> Ramin, Kostal and Bernstein are billed as orchestrators for the show.
