Damn, that orchestra is as good as any other piece of the production.
That can't be a high school orchestra.
Most likely the music was prerecorded and not by the high school orchestra.
@@kentasbury3531 why not?
@@gevansmd1 it actually was a real orchestra
@@conns8743 in that case, by far the best high school orchestra I've ever heard.
This Maria has such a beautiful voice!!!
Agreed!
She needs to sing louder
Crazy organist to be fair she is singing against a big ensemble she doesn’t want to damage her voice
YEP..PERFECT..JE
Wow, that quintet was the bomb! Incredible.
This Tony is ADORABLE !! The scene is lovely !
He is!! He looks like he's a good kid irl.
yes! Beautifully sung and acted!
I'm a huge West Side Story fan for a High School production this was very good
For any theatre this was very good!!!
i’m 1 of the biggest wss fans of the world i even made fan fic for each character’s backstory and birth date
Very good? No, it was spectacular!
I have seen off-Broadway productions that weren't as good as this great performance. Excellent job by a group of young people who are clearly putting their hearts into their roles.
I literally JUST watched a semi-pro production here on TH-cam before coming to this video -- this is far better than the more experienced actors and singers in that one. Better direction too.
@@keithpl5438 maybe because they're teens and they can relate to the characters?
@@2TactTV Heh. Maybe, but, I mean, isn't what you're describing the JOB of an actor?! (And the director, to help them get there.) Besides, these aren't even real teens; just some 1960s, exaggerated concept of them from a guy who (I think) was in his 30s when he wrote it. I dunno. Could be just a better director.
@@keithpl5438 they are actual teens
@@2TactTV Yyyyeah, dude, saw the previous reply. Not sure why you repeated it. We've ALL seen plenty of actors who are NOT teens convincingly play teens or play elderly or play ANY NUMBER of things they are not. That's what acting is.
The concentration from everyone is wonderful; I like how you started the number out in the audience.
WOW!!! I am a big fan of West Side Story. The players/singers are almost as good as professionals.. WELL DONE! NICE WORK!
this is AMAZING. tony’s voice is so absolutely lovely, maria is amazing, but the sharks look like they’re in brown face.. nonetheless their voices sound spectacular
Yeah it looks unnatural
This orchestra is fantastic!
I was thinking how much I liked "tonight " and just randomly searched TH-cam Can't believe what I stumbled on. One of the best WSS I've seen and by a group of incredibly talented high school kids! You really have to watch a few of these videos to believe it. The acting is as good or better than many professional productions. In fact, that's what I thought it was at first. Tony is portrayed in an honest, likeable way with a really engaging voice. Riff out does Russ Tamblyn in the 1961 movie.
But the standout far and away is Maria. She absolutely kills it! She embodies what Maria should be with an absolutely incredible voice
The videos are old enough that these kids may be starting their careers. Wish them all the best.
Incredible job.
I
I LOVE how they stayed on the dead bodies for a few seconds before fading to black.
The quintet is very challenging and these talented young people really pull it off! Bravo!
everything about this is excellent ... EVERYTHING! congratulations, and thank you!
Incredible diction. I can actually understand the words. The accents are a little exaggerated and uneven on the other hand, but the overall effort is amazing!
This cast cast is terrific.
Can we just talk about that amazing fight choreography
Michaela Hewitt-Clarke This was taken directly from the original Jerome Robbins choreography, they had to sign a contract which legally obligates them to follow the original production EXACTLY as it was made. Just watch their version of “Cool”, it’s phenomenal for a high school production.
@@thatperformer3879 That's so interesting!
Is this a high school production? I’m speechless.
Yes, it is.
Yikes! This is amazing! As good as Broadway! What High School is this???
Fantastic! My highest respect to these guys for doing this proudly!
Excellent work and salute to the entire cast.. Bernstein is NOT easy to sing, and you guys did beautifully. Best wishes and success to your futures.
Wow, Tony and Maria have such great voices!
i feel each actor really enjoyed playing their role
Good job guys and gals
My school is doing West Side Story this year. Having rehearsed the quintet today, I genuinely think we're not that far of of THIS performance. Which is quite a feat, and I'm soooo excited!!
Wow this is incredible for a high school production
West Side Story is my fave film of all time , so much so that I can't even watch the new version!!!! But this cast were just stunning , singing , dancing , everything , they are all a credit to the classic 1961 film and I hope they have long and successful careers they all deserve to.
These youngsters are amazing!
Thanks for posting this. These kids did a fabulous job and helped me pass a cold and cloudy Illinois November afternoon. Blessings and stay safe. :)
Most impressed with the actor playing Riff!!! Amazing voice and acting.. true star quality here !!!!!!!!!
This was absolutely AMAZING ! BRAVO !!! You have my Standing Ovation !!!
I really would love to see their version of One Hand One Heart!
Its on the channell :)
Alexis Grey this comment was before it came on the channel
Stunning
This was very well performed !!!!!!!!! Bravo!!!!!!!!! Great sound
Excellent job!...
Maria is fantastic
Wow. This is a VERY good High School production.
Maria nailed it!
Looks like an excellent production.!
I love the look of that lady, in the audience to the left of Riff, when Riff comes in and starts singing, she looks so suprised and dumbfounded
Honest this is very exciting, even more than both films, allare outstanding, including the orchestra.
I like how Anita plays down her solo and keeps the sexiness at a low level. She's a high school girl, after all, and she gives very little emphasis to the (controversial) last line. Perfect.
The choreography of the fight is perfect
"don't matter if he's tired - as long as he's hot."
Wonderful!!
Woah, this is really good for a high school production!
Superlative. The quintet is so difficult to perform and these teenagers aced it. I've seen all the clips now and I'm awed by them all. Please, please upload the final scene of the musical.
The guy with glasses was playing Diesel/Ice.
Fan-frecantastic incredible
I have seen professional companies of this show that are not this impressive.
Omg... So good.
That Tony did a great job
Absolutely incredible production, and from High School kids! All I wanted to do is jump out of my seat and scream "STOP!!" Who are these kids?
I'm in love with tony. NO ONE TELL HIM
Riff wanted to make sure the cheat seats could hear him. Respect. Such good diction overall.
Me, waiting for "Anita's gonna get her kicks, tonight": "She's perfect."
if these were elementary kids i would faint i’m an elementary kid myself COVID SUCKS
Great performances!!
Will you post the balcony version of tonight? I'd love to see it
Your welcome.
Thank you for this
Holy cow, that Maria is in high school with that voice?
YES FINALLY!
good job kids
Chapeau!!!
Great job! It’s a hard ensemble-they did wonderfully!
omg the maria
** I cant believe that this is a high school production. They must have worked on this all year long.
Awesome
Wow- that is how you do this number!
Awesome!!
YEP...GOOD JOB...JE (OPERA RING, SAN FRANCISCO COMPANY..1961)...J
ET/TONY
Bernardo hast a great voice
Amazing but…are they doing brown face?
客席からなんてかっこいい...
Awesome!
the singing voice of anita in tonight sounds like the original broadway voice kinda
Did they really put makeup on the actors to make them look more Puerto Rican? Great singing really, but really with the make up?
I was about to say that too, there is no need for "browning" themselves. we can tell they're the rival gang already
Could you post pre officer krupke? Like the A-Rab and Baby John part.
Jacqueline no they aren't important charackters
adadad Sorry was that question directed to you? No, it was directed to the person who owns this channel. Thank you for your input but I wasn't looking for it. Have a nice day!!
Hey, I play a-rab in my schools production right now haha
The riff started a bit early but other than that WOW!
*Can you upload the ending?*
Wish Tony would give full measure to ending words, like "star" and "are". These are easy to sing and show off the beauty of the voice. He needs stronger breath control. I feel these last words are being cut off instead of savored. Then grab a breath quickly before the next line. I'd like to see the score and see how long Bernstein indicates to hold the note. He did great on the last "night" - that was held well. You don't need so much time for a breath, just grab it and next line. That allows you to lengthen the previous word.
Eileen Pollock I see what ur saying but he is just a kid and breath control can be hard
The accents they tried to imitate were really terrible
Black Fox they are just kids ! Let's see you get up there.
Well black fox is kinda right
I find it hilarious that people are saying this as if the accents by the sharks on the movie wasn't just as bad, or maybe even worse
@@xJackDarkStonex Both accents were horrible. That's something I hope isn't in the remake.
can you share riff and tony scene?
best version on youtube
Ok but I’ve gotta know what they used for the knives in this!
I haven't watched full movie of the version, but I believe it is the best version of WSS, better than 1961 film version.
マヤ！なりきるだけではだれもみとめてくれません！本物になりなさい！月影せんせい！
Some the notes fizzled out and the orchestra was a little loud near the end of number. Plus anita sounded a little flat. Also Tony annouciated well but the t's and the s's were a bit too pronounced
Thank you for those words of encouragement.....dipshit.
After seeing the same actress playing Maria in WSS and Kim in BBB (Byrdie), I realize she is significantly taller in Byrdie and towers over her boyfriend Hugo. The only answer I can think of is - she may have played Maria at the age of 13, and Kim at 14 after she had grown taller. I know I was singing Tonight at the age of 10, and could have done the role at 13. No reason Eliza the actress here could be 13 and have grown by 14. I wonder..... Girls stop growing by 14, and the boys need to be up to 20 to reach full height. That's one reason Tony is underpowered, he hasn't grown to his full height and strength.
Diesel should have taken his glasses off before he started to fight.
Are yall sure this is a hs performance? I know im several years late but great job!
the brown face😭
Hey everyone
First of all, this is great
And also lir school will be doing this as well
I got a part called baby john is je a big one or can any one tell me everything abkut him??
Lee Leo lol have u not heard of the story before? like he has quite a few lines
LeoLee I’m sure you’ve watched the movie by now, but Babyjohn is one of the main Jets and has a lot of lines and a few little
solos here and there!

英語が上手く理解できませんが、高校生の演技でしょうか。とても上手いですね。
Fantastic job..everyone is just fantastic, but I must say, Tony looks a bit wimpy..he makes Beymer look macho
Oh not the fake tans 😬
I think this is so amazing too!!
But I think that they are just copying Broadway musical😅
But the quality is so high! !
Good performances, but the costumes aren't suitable for street gangs.
いかなければ！！まっていかないで！…🐱これから！避難所へいく！まっていかないで！…🐱きみのゆーとりするよ！
Love everything except for the Anita actress - awful vocals. Everything else is fantastic!
Glitter Junkie lol I think she's pro now. Apparently she went on the US tour with Wicked.
@@keiko4043 oof... She wasn't that bad anyway
