Steven Spielberg's 'West Side Story' screening at the Hollywood Bowl, with Gustavo Dudamel conducting the orchestral score live with the L.A. Phil, imbues the story with a renewed spirit and vitality.
at the Bowl of the full “West Side Story” with an exciting, young Broadway cast in a performance that made the legendary Broadway show feel startlingly fresh.
“West Side Story in Concert,” as the evening was advertised, meant just that: live performance, not moviegoing. At first, the Bowl amplification was closer to movie theater loud than ideal, but either one’s ears adapted or the volume was toned down. The sound effects are what they are. The singers on the soundtrack, though, were not distorted, not amplified to the point where their every vocal weakness was exaggerated. I liked no singer in the theater, yet I disliked no singer at the Bowl. Rita Moreno’s “Somewhere,” so hard to take on the soundtrack, became moving here.
