I've been sitting on these photos for a long, long time and now I'm finally able to share them! As some of you may remember, I shot members of the 2009 Broadway Revival Cast of West Side Story back in February for a cover feature in Movmnt Magazine. Well, the issue--a special edition fold-out poster containing Movmnt's special blend of music, dance and pop culture-- has finally hit newsstands and you can go pick up a copy at your local retailer. This was my first organized shoot with a large group and I'm very proud of the results. Be sure to pick up an issue now! Subscribe to Movmnt! And check out West Side Story on Broadway!
Larry Kert (Tony) and Carol Lawrence (Maria) were the leads in the original Broadway cast production of "West Side Story." You can view their 1958 duet of "Tonight" on the Ed Sullivan Show at http://www.livevideo.com/video/6E0C11BF4DBD4EF196053C980DAB479E/tonight.aspx
The original 1957 Broadway production, directed and choreographed by Jerome Robbins and produced by Robert E. Griffith and Harold Prince, marked Stephen Sondheim's Broadway debut. It ran for 732 performances (a successful run for the time), before going on tour. The production garnered a Tony Award nomination for Best Musical in 1957, but the award went to Meredith Willson's The Music Man. It won a Tony Award in 1957 for Robbins' choreography. The show had an even longer-running London production, a number of revivals and international success, and spawned an innovative, award-winning 1961 musical film of the same name.
