Norman Verona Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Excellent! As a huge fan of both Bernstein and Sondheim I think that is the best version I've heard. Well almost. Nearly. Maybe. Quote
davidgh Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Fantastic -- and, like all good satire, very close to reality Quote
pistonbroke2 Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 Shows youve got taste. Great find. Alas, you have just ruined the magic of the musical cause I will laugh me balls of everytime I hear it from now on. Quote
Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted May 7, 2009 Author Posted May 7, 2009 I have to admit that I'm not a fan of Hollywood musicals normally - Puccini and Verdi are more my bag - but West Side Story is one that moves me every time I see it. That very clever parody makes me want to reach for my old VHS tape... Quote
Norman Verona Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 I'm the same, just can't stand Holywood musicals (or much else to think about it). West Side Story and Funny Girl are the two for me. And they both sit in with my classics not the folk or jazz. (though WSS probably belongs with the jazz). Quote
pistonbroke Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 I would list "Seven Brides for Seven Owners" amongst the best Quote
Norman Verona Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 Bernie, I drive my 7..... OK, you're right. Quote
Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted May 8, 2009 Author Posted May 8, 2009 folk or jazz... MJQ, Brubeck, Dutch Swing College, Charlie Parker, Monk? 'Jazz on a Summer's Day' - great film. John Tams, Martin Carthy, Eric Bogle, Christie Moore, Tom Paxton? Quote
