Spielberg toasts his cast and crew in West Side Story sneak peek preview

October 28, 2021 by Matt Rodgers

Musicals haven’t fared too well at the box-office of late, with In The Heights and Dear Evan Hansen being two of the more notable failures of 2021, but hopes are high that Steven Spielberg’s pandemic delayed adaptation of West Story Story can change that, with the legendary director saying he’s “so proud and honoured that he got this shot late in my career of being able to tell this story based on the 1957 Broadway musical” in this behind-the-scenes preview released by 20th Century Studios; check it out here…

An adaptation of the original Broadway musical, WEST SIDE STORY explores young love and tensions between rival gangs the Jets and the Sharks on the streets of 1957 New York.

West Side Story features a cast that includes Ansel Elgort (Tony), Rachel Zegler (Maria), Ezra Menas (Anybodys), Ben Cook (Mouthpiece), Sean Harrison Jones (Action), Mike Faist (Riff), Patrick Higgins (Baby John), David Alvarez (Bernardo), Julius Anthony Rubio (Quique), Ricardo Zayas (Chago), Josh Andrés Rivera (Chino), Sebastian Serra (Braulio), Carlos Sánchez Falú (Pipo), Ariana DeBose (Anita), Ana Isabelle (Rosalia), Corey Stoll (Lieutenant Schrank), Brian d’Arcy James (Officer Krupke), Curtiss Cook (Abe), and Rita Moreno (Valentina).

West Side Story dances onto cinema screens on December 10th, 2021.
