The cast of the new West Side Storyalso includes Ant-Man's Corey Stoll along with veteran stage actors Ariana DeBose (who has established her musical theater prowess in Hamilton and Schmigadoon), David Alvarez ( Billy Elliot the Musical), Mike Faist (who originated the role of Connor Murphy in Dear Evan Hansen), and Brian d'Arcy James ( Shrek the Musical and Hamilton). The clip cuts away at the climactic moment, opting to show a montage of other moments from the film as well, but it does give audiences the most uninterrupted glimpse of the scene so far. The moment pours on the romantic tension as Ansel Elgort's Tony slowly pulls himself up toward Rachel Zegler's María.
On their official YouTube channel, 20th Century Studios posted a new ad spot that highlights that very scene on the fire escape. Related: Why West Side Story's Trailer Is Hiding So Many Major Elements The fire escape scene has been a central element of West Side Story's marketing campaign. One of the major scenes in the original stage production and film is the moment that transplants Romeo and Juliet's iconic balcony scene onto a fire escape, highlighting the urban setting. Tony belongs to a gang called the Sharks and María's older brother is the leader of a rival Puerto Rican gang called the Jets, so their blossoming love is forbidden. West Side Story is a retelling of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet set in New York's Upper West Side. That film was nominated for 11 Oscars and won 10, including Best Picture and Best Supporting Actress for Rita Moreno, who will be appearing in 2021's West Side Story as well. They just want to laugh about them failing.A new ad spot shows an extended look at the updated fire escape scene from Steven Spielberg's remake of West Side Story. The film, which is coming exclusively to theaters on December 10, 2021, is a new adaptation of the classic 1957 stage musical by Arthur Laurents, Leonard Bernstein, and Steven Sondheim. The show was previously adapted to film by Robert Wise in 1961, starring Natalie Wood and Richard Beymer as star-crossed lovers Tony and María. They do not really want them to shine and become better. His type of show was written by people who look down paternalistically on the poor, the salon liberals and communists. No more showing us how much better life can be if we exceed our expectations and outdo ourselves. I guess this type of 'naturalistic' show being so popular AND a major Broadway event, is another sign of the decline of our American values. The actors even went so far as to ask for donations post-show for the coal miners' union people in the UK. The show was also vilifying and spoofing Margaret Thatcher and capitalism and misrepresenting union people as victims. Not something one desires for 'joyful inspirational entertainment'. It was like watching a 'reality show musical'. No surprise of course, considering the terribly 'naturalistic' character of the whole show. Also, the words, both spoken and sung, where mostly unintelligible with extreme 'lower class' accents. I hope she gets a better role in a different cheery musical. The singing was mediocre, grotesque, with lots of vile, coarse language, except for a tiny role of the dead mother, who had a great voice despite the sad lyrics.
BILLY ELLIOT CAST MUSICAL PROFESSIONAL
The fact that the boy later became a professional dancer, was not shown as a change in happiness, wealth, applause, esteem by his peers etc. They looked like lice ingested, worn, early, aged and badly dressed, as were the stage decorations and that never changed, so there was no one really successfully digging himself out of that hell hole. All the characters were totally unromantic, no heroes, no inspirational people. Worse, he got chosen to be a dancer despite his bad character.
The main character, Billy, even got away with punching one of his 'ballet competitors' without any consequences for him. No sane person would want to meet any of these and want to be friends with them. Unless you are a rabid socialist or communist who wants to wallow in an un-American negative sense of life, this is not for you. It is not clear why the boy preferred dancing over boxing nor why the union people later decided to support Billy a bit financially for a decisive trip to the ballet school (although they really did not pay much as most was paid by their opponents, the scabs). The plot was that of a lower class British young boy (Billy Eliot) who grew up in a coal miner labor union environment and chose to exchange a boxing career option for a ballet dancer career, while initially having objections by his family until later, when they changed their minds. I should have checked the plot and songs before paying. The musical Billie Eliot is the worst 'musical' I have 'mistakenly' paid for in over 55 years.
