Is the 2021 version of West Side Story more historically and culturally accurate? Should the filmmakers have released the film via streaming services instead of in theaters? And is Ariana DeBose available to be our first podcast guest (and best friend)?
On this episode of The Wright Perspective podcast, siblings Aubrey, Genia and Brittany Wright ponder these questions and more as they recap and review West Side Story (2021) which stars Ansel Elgort and Rachel Zegler with Ariana DeBose, David Alvarez, Mike Faist, and Rita Moreno in supporting roles. Moreno, who starred in the 1961 film adaptation, also served as an executive producer, alongside Tony Kushner, who wrote the screenplay. Steven Spielberg served as co-producer and director and the film features music composed by Leonard Bernstein, with lyrics by Stephen Sondheim.
