As an ten year old boy in 1961 New York's City's Washington Heights., I saved two weeks allowances and spent it to see 'West Side Story'. It was worth every penny. The magic has lived with me ever since.
Those making comments about why they had to "speak" softly on the balcony but their "loud singing" was not heard by others are missing one of the basic expressions of musical theater (which is an outgrowth of the European opera). Many such songs were to capture the moment and step outside of "real" time. Much like a verbal soliloquy spoken only to the audience. The song in this scene obviously represents the feelings they are expressing with their hearts to each other. Their words are not intended for the outside world (nor are they "heard" by the outside world). It's a form of artistic expression often featured in musicals.
You don’t understand basic expressions of humor. The obviousness of your point is matched by the validity of a humorous point that this convention of theater would be absurd in real life.
"West Side Story" is definitely one of the greatest musicals of all-time, but "Phantom of The Opera", "My Fair Lady", "Camelot", "The Sound of Music", " The King and I", " South Pacific", "Man of La Mancha" and "Shenandoah" are equally great!

It is one of the best films I have ever seen and probably ever will see, talent will never come to this Apex ever ever again I swear, in 100 years this movie will still be unbelievable
@@traceofwind without pontificating on the remake. . .I agree with you 100%. Richard Beymer has been embarrassed by his performance over the years and not joined the cast in reunions. My daughters disagree and so do I. His portrayal of a guy with emotions who expressed himself in a certain way, wasn't masculine enough and rubbed the men of the 60's the wrong way. . .This is my opinion, as a child of the 60's, but I find it ahead of it's time. . .it might not have been intentional, but the 'dreamer' still hits me every time.
Tony’s wonderful rhyme: “Every thought I’ll ever KNOW; everywhere I GO.” The orchestral harmony is brilliant on each of those two words. Thank you, Lenny.
It is mirroring the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet. ...good night, good night. A thousand times good night. Parting is such sweet sorrow that I shall say good night til it be morrow.
@@kawai54 I assume Ciclopea2 is referring to the quintet version of this song, which comes later. Tony and Maria are singing a reprise of this melody, referencing their central romance; the Sharks and the Jets are singing, in countermelody, about their inpending fight tonight; and Anita is singing, in the countermelody, about her anticipation of her date tonight with her boyfriend, Maria's brother Bernardo, referencing the story's secondary romance. The tension in the counterpoint is thrilling. It gives me chills every time I listen to it; it's arguably my favorite piece in all of musical theater rep
It is not true that they hated each other in real life. Natalie unfairly gave Richard the cold shoulder while filming, because she wanted her friend Warren Beatty in the role of Tony. However, they met a few years later and Beymer said they ate together and had a pleasent time.
Pablo Baňados Pérez Didn't she like date Warren Beatty at one point. These two could not get together for real coz she was married to RJ at the time. would've been nice if she were single.
I'm sorry, but you (or anyone) can't know whether '"Natalie unfairly gave Richard the cold shoulder while filming." Please don't say you read it somewhere, or someone told you. She may have originally wanted Warren; so what? It's grossly unfair to say she was unkind in any way to Richard; we cannot know that. Look at the legendary performances they turned in; that's what will live forever: Tony and Maria and their doomed love for each other.
I only recently realised that this was the same Beymer who played Benjamin Horne in Twin Peaks! And Riff also played the doctor in the same show. Wow. Would never have guessed it. Beymer's acting was superb in this movie and perfectly encapsulates the sweet, sensitive and naive nature of Tony (that was reminiscent of Romeo in Shakespeare's play). And what a beautiful man he was in his youth.
Friends Rachel, Monica,Phoebe, Joey, Chandler, Ross Another fact about this movie is that the actors had to have others sing because they couldn’t sing
my choir teacher said that those two in real life hated each other so much that they had a restraining order that after they finished filming a scene they both had to be 10 feet away from each other
when this movie came to my city over 50 years ago I saw it 18 times(eghteen) and today in my seventies this particular scene still moves me like the first time. It is amazing, the music and the lyrics are really extraordinary.
I was 13 when WSS was released. I lived in Hollywood, there were massive signs and posters everywhere. I saw it multiple times. I fell in love with Natalie and she's been my dream girl ever since. This scene is *PURE GENIUS* ... It's nice to share my recollections with someone who can appreciate them. 👋
Y’all , my dog stopped in his tracks when this song started playing from a commercial! I instantly found it here and put it on the big speaker!! He LOVES this song!!! His little head was just turning from side to side 😩😅❤️❤️ Y’all should play this for your animal babies to see if they’ll respond or not!!!
Because the storyline is the one of the most romantic lovestories with one of the most romantic poetry written by one of the greatest poets: Romeo and Juliet
Rick Mileske YEA EXCEPT IN THIS MARIA DOESN'T KILL HERSELF AFTER SHE SEES TONY DEAD BUT IN ROMEO AND JULIET JULIET KILLS HERSELF BECAUSE SHE SEES ROMEO DEAD
Great sets and cinematography throughout this movie, and this scene in particular sets a standard that others are measured by today. The low angle camera work on the dance at the gym was groundbreaking, the fire escape stairs have become emblematic of urban life. Add to that the glorious colours, a story that is universally understood, and then we have the unsurpassed musc and songs of Bernstein. On top of all that there's the choreography and dancing which set new standards. This film is a feast for the eyes, ears and the heart.
Wonderful music and performance. I feel it again. As if I were flooded with the same emotion I felt 50 years ago, in front of my first great love. Tears... for those times and for that boy I was.
The historical BEST ever movie from the 60s! In 70 millimeters 6 SoundTracks ! BRAVO again! MERCI BEAUCOUP for this original stereophonic Technicolor rendering. So much emotions! Thanks! Emmanuel from Paris France

As a Italian/ Irish American growing up on the Borderline of East New York Brooklyn / ozone park Queens I lived the real life story of tony n maria in the 70s only this Tony survived west side story/ Best Movie Ever
From the first time I saw this musical to the 1000th time since, the songs and music are forever being wonderfully sewn into the tapestry of my heart ❤
Как современен и гениален этот фильм , музыка, песни и танцы , как будто это было день назад. Это магия 60-х годов, лучшие годы Человечества после страшной войны , когда люди понимали ценность Жизни и Любви. Восхитительный фильм и музыка которые не возможно повторить. Я рожденный в 1962, пронес любовь к этому фильму и музыке через всю жизнь. How modern and ingenious this film is, music, songs and dances, as if it were a day ago. This is the magic of the 60s, the best years of Mankind after the terrible war, when people understood the value of Life and Love. Amazing film and music that is not possible to repeat. Born in 1962, I carried the love of this film and music all my life.
Lyrics: Only you, you're the only thing I'll see forever In my eyes in my words and in everything I do Nothing else but you Ever And there's nothing for me but Maria Every sight that I see is Maria Tony, Tony Always you, every thought I'll ever know Everywhere I go you'll be All the world is only you and me Tonight, tonight It all began tonight I saw you and the world went away Tonight, tonight There's only you tonight What you are, what you do, what you say Today, all day I had the feeling A miracle would happen I know now I was right For here you are And what was just a world is a star Tonight Tonight, tonight The world is full of light With suns and moons all over the place Tonight, tonight The world is wild and bright Going mad Shooting sparks into space Today, the world was just an address A place for me to live in No better than all right But here you are And what was just a world is a star Tonight Good night, good night Sleep well and when you dream Dream of me Tonight
Love how soft they both did "Tonight, tonight" at 3:05 gives me goosebumps, the remake didn't have the goosebumps moment. Voice-wise different techniques change, Rachel's voice is nice and smooth but again because that's the contemporary it's how most do it now.
Thank you Marni Nixon. RIP Margaret Nixon McEathron (February 22, 1930 - July 24, 2016), known professionally as Marni Nixon, was an American soprano and ghost singer for featured actresses in movie musicals. She is now recognized as the singing voice of leading actresses on the soundtracks of several musicals, including Deborah Kerr in The King and I, Natalie Wood in West Side Story, and Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady, although her roles were concealed from audiences when the films were released.[1] Several of the songs she dubbed appeared on AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs list.[2]
Natalie Wood so beautiful seems like a Goddess, I love all the movies I star in, she was perfect, it is a pity that she died so young, there will never ever be someone like her, she was unrepeatable and unique.💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Watching the Fresh Prince of Bel Air Will: Carlton if you get in the car right now I promise we can sing the theme to Westside Story you can be Maria 😂😂😂😂
i always loved Bernsteins music, he was a real good composer and musician too! Natalie did not sang in this movie, but she was an good actress who died too young... May Natalie and Leo rest in peace
Only you, you're the only thing I'll see forever In my eyes in my words and in everything I do Nothing else but you Ever あなただけ、これからはずっとあなただけを見つめていくわ 何を見ても、何を語っても、何をしても そこにいるのはあなただけ TONY And there's nothing for me but Maria Every sight that I see is Maria ぼくには君が全てだ、マリア 目に映るものは全てがマリア MARIA Tony, Tony トニー、トニー TONY Always you, every thought I'll ever know Everywhere I go you'll be 全ての想いに、全ての場所に いつも君の姿がある TONY & MARIA All the world is only you and me この世界には君とぼく（あなたと私）しかいない MARIA Tonight, tonight It all began tonight I saw you and the world went away 今宵、今宵 今宵、全てが始まった あなたに会って、あなたの姿しか見えなくなった Tonight, tonight There's only you tonight What you are, what you do, what you say 今宵、今宵 今宵、あなただけがいる あなたの姿、あなたの仕草、あなたの言葉 TONY Today, all day I had the feeling A miracle would happen I know now I was right 今日は一日中、 何か奇跡が起こる予感がしていた 今、それが本当だと分かったんだ TONY & MARIA For here you are And what was just a world is a star Tonight なぜって、君が目の前に居るからさ （なぜって、あなたが目の前に居るからよ） そして、今宵 色あせていた世界が輝く星に変わる Tonight, tonight The world is full of light With suns and moons all over the place 今宵、今宵 世界は光に溢れている 周りは全て太陽と月が輝いている Tonight, tonight The world is wild and bright Going mad Shooting sparks into space 今宵、今宵 世界は燃えるように輝いて 激しく火花を散らしている Today, the world was just an address A place for me to live in No better than all right 今日までは、世界はただの住所 ぼくに（私に）とっては暮らしていく場所 ただそれだけの場所だった But here you are And what was just a world is a star Tonight でも、今は君が（あなたが）いる そして、今宵 色あせていた世界が輝く星に変わる Good night, good night Sleep well and when you dream Dream of me Tonight おやすみ、おやすみ ぐっすり眠ってね そして今宵、夢をみるなら ぼくの夢をみておくれ （私の夢をみてちょうだい）
Richard Beymer is such a wholesome and lovable Tony … it makes so much sense why Maria falls for him in this version. Ansel Elgort, on the other hand, just plays Tony as an absolute creep.

Alright then
If my life was a musical, I wouldn’t sing without an imaginary pit orchestra following me.
Exactly. "...step outside of 'real' time".
Very interestingly done in "Dancer In The Dark", a brutal homage to musicals.

Yes! He’s such a swoon worthy character, man. He was my middle school crush, if I’m being completely honest with you.
Favorite line: It's when I don't look that it happens!
this musical was so far ahead of it's time
J Rock too bad it was written in a time where they didn’t cast the roles correctly
bonjour on fait un spectacle sur sa
Totally in accordance. Nothing like the good old days of music without the technology to enhance ones vocals....
Cherry Cola I think the casting is spectacular.
J Rock - It is eternal.
Reality: Yelling "Maria!" in the Puerto Rican part of the neighborhood = 183 girls come to their windows.

AGREED
Tommy Vermiglio I LOVE THIS MUSICAL, 2 FAVORITE MUSICAL FIRST IS SINGING IN THE RAIN
Tommy Vermiglio they’re the best because they both have Maria’s lol
Please stop typing everything with the first letter being capital. It’s annoying.
Tony’s wonderful rhyme: “Every thought I’ll ever KNOW; everywhere I GO.” The orchestral harmony is brilliant on each of those two words. Thank you, Lenny.
This is the closest thing to saying “You hang up first”
“No you hang up”😂when they say goodnight repeatedly

The. New York balcony scene.

What is the significance of the setting where Maria and Tony agree to meet next? Why might the director have chosen this setting

OHMYGOD SO MANY REFERENCES TO ROMEO AND JULIET
Addy p Pretty sure that was the inspiration behind the musical
It's based on Romeo & Juliet. The characters' personalities are even very similar. It's basically a modern American version of the original!
Apocal Q I agree. In english we are doing this and we viewed this as a comparison to almost modern time Romeo and Juliet.
It is Romeo and Juliet updated. I think every HS English class has to do the comparison project.
Apocal Q how else?
A timeless story and a living tribute to the genius of Bernstein and Sondheim!
& don't forget Lehman
One of my favorite songs in the movie! Nothing like a beautiful balcony scene recreation.
You do know, don't you, that the plot follows Shakespeare's play quite closely throughout? Even down to the minor characters.
@@kenoliver8913 Yes i do! Although i saw this movie before i read the the play my freshman year of HS

でも、今は君が（あなたが）いる
そして、今宵
色あせていた世界が輝く星に変わる
Good night, good night
Sleep well and when you dream
Dream of me
Tonight
おやすみ、おやすみ
ぐっすり眠ってね
そして今宵、夢をみるなら
ぼくの夢をみておくれ
（私の夢をみてちょうだい）
My music teacher showed this to us in school, I am now rewatching it, love it
OMG! I do remember how this Movie effected everyone in the Sixties! It was like Magic across the Giant Screen in the Theaters! I Loved every Minute of it! ♥️♥️♥️🌷💐🌷🥰🥰🥰
Rip Stephen Sondheim. You are immortalized through your beautiful lyrics 🎵 💔
And Leonard Bernstein, for creating that beautiful music,
I still love this musical
My Choir Teacher: Did you know that Natalie Wood lip syncs in this movie?
Me: oh
(YEARS LATER)
Wikipedia: Did you know that Tony lip syncs in this movie?
Me: *WHAT*
I know who sang for Maria but I'll have to look up who sang for Tony
WAIT WHAT
Jimmy Bryant, if I remember correctly
As a Italian/ Irish American growing up on the Borderline of East New York Brooklyn / ozone park Queens I lived the real life story of tony n maria in the 70s only this Tony survived west side story/ Best Movie Ever
From the first time I saw this musical to the 1000th time since, the songs and music are forever being wonderfully sewn into the tapestry of my heart ❤
Thank the Lord for my grandma who exposed me to beautiful music like this since I was a child. 31 and still listening. RIP grandma. 💖
I'm so sorry!!!😢
Natalie Wood...what a beauty!🤗✨
I’ve only seen her in this movie and Miracle on 34th Street
@@manuelorozco7760 You should watch “ Rebel Without a Cause” with Natalie and James Dean. Great movie
Как современен и гениален этот фильм , музыка, песни и танцы , как будто это было день назад. Это магия 60-х годов, лучшие годы Человечества после страшной войны , когда люди понимали ценность Жизни и Любви. Восхитительный фильм и музыка которые не возможно повторить. Я рожденный в 1962, пронес любовь к этому фильму и музыке через всю жизнь. How modern and ingenious this film is, music, songs and dances, as if it were a day ago. This is the magic of the 60s, the best years of Mankind after the terrible war, when people understood the value of Life and Love. Amazing film and music that is not possible to repeat. Born in 1962, I carried the love of this film and music all my life.
Also born in 1962 and have loved this musical from the first time watching it as a little girl.. everything about it: it’s just mesmerizing
Marnie Nixon has such a beautiful soprano voice.
My mom sang the song " Tonight" at my wedding in July 1985 . One of my favorite songs. Still married as of 12 31 2023
My G-d, Sondheim was brilliant... May his memory endure as as blessing forever. Omayn.
In memory Stephen Sondheim (1926-2021)
Just a joy to listen to these words and music. Always magical.
This is too beautiful. My favorite scene.
I love classic West side story and the new one.
There are so many great musicals but I would rank this 1961 masterpiece the GOAT!
Lyrics:
Only you, you're the only thing I'll see forever
In my eyes in my words and in everything I do
Nothing else but you
Ever
And there's nothing for me but Maria
Every sight that I see is Maria
Tony, Tony
Always you, every thought I'll ever know
Everywhere I go you'll be
All the world is only you and me
Tonight, tonight
It all began tonight
I saw you and the world went away
Tonight, tonight
There's only you tonight
What you are, what you do, what you say
Today, all day I had the feeling
A miracle would happen
I know now I was right
For here you are
And what was just a world is a star
Tonight
Tonight, tonight
The world is full of light
With suns and moons all over the place
Tonight, tonight
The world is wild and bright
Going mad
Shooting sparks into space
Today, the world was just an address
A place for me to live in
No better than all right
But here you are
And what was just a world is a star
Tonight
Good night, good night
Sleep well and when you dream
Dream of me
Tonight
Maria's parents must have gone temporarily deaf if they couldn't hear them singing.
Hahahahha lmao
White guy: I'm not afraid
Latinas: oh you don't wanna see...*the slipper*
Was that a Coco reference?
Love how soft they both did "Tonight, tonight" at 3:05 gives me goosebumps, the remake didn't have the goosebumps moment. Voice-wise different techniques change, Rachel's voice is nice and smooth but again because that's the contemporary it's how most do it now.
As one who works in a Latino parish, this touches me at the core. The Latino youth know how to love the Lord and continue to believe in romantic love.
AMEN!
Only musical I actually can sit through and enjoy, love this musical/movie!!
Please give other musicals another try
Cena digna de Romeu e Julieta e música maravilhosa. Resultado: dez (ou onze) oscars.
Love this soong. My violin teacher suggested it to me as a recital piece, I was so Happy 😭😭😭😭
So beautiful film just like a dream ! Lovely song "Maria "
I love it when tony says “sí” and Maria has a delayed reaction about 4 seconds after he says it
Why the hell did I expected them to sing
Suddenly Seymour?
LOL
ladies when was the last time a handsome young man like that showed up at your window?
Cute
never
i live in a high rise building
Well, there was this window cleaner on the 93rd floor and then the rope snapped .....
I was 14yo! Nothing happened but it was flattering.
This musical was one of my moms favorite. She loved the singing and was a big fan of Rita Moreno.
Maria: Quiet
Tony: **continues yelling loudly**
I love romance.
I'm 18 years old and i love it
I’m 14 and I love it too! Natalie Wood will always be my favourite
Beautiful and elegant this Maria and Tony! I love the song :)
The emotional nostalgia of seeing this scene again 34 years on since l performed it is almost too much...
Maria: You must stay quiet. It will wake up my parents..
Prooceeds to do a duet loooool. LOVE this movie!! ughh
True classic. This never gets old!
I can’t wait to see Ansel Elgort and Rachel Zegler sing Tonight in the remake. They’re gonna bring justice to this song.
When is that supposed to come out?
@@footyfan101ful December of this year
Is Ansel singing himself?
Steven Spielberg hired a vocal coach for his version so we should expect ABSOLUTELY NO DUBBING!
UGH. Chick flick.
Thank you Marni Nixon. RIP Margaret Nixon McEathron (February 22, 1930 - July 24, 2016), known professionally as Marni Nixon, was an American soprano and ghost singer for featured actresses in movie musicals. She is now recognized as the singing voice of leading actresses on the soundtracks of several musicals, including Deborah Kerr in The King and I, Natalie Wood in West Side Story, and Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady, although her roles were concealed from audiences when the films were released.[1] Several of the songs she dubbed appeared on AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs list.[2]
"...Tony? What does 'Tony' stand for?"
"Atone.
"Te adoro, Antone."
"...Te adoro, Maria."
;-;
Natalie Wood so beautiful seems like a Goddess, I love all the movies I star in, she was perfect, it is a pity that she died so young, there will never ever be someone like her, she was unrepeatable and unique.💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Auditioning for West Side Story with the scene and song. So nervous.
MsFuturestar001 good luck!
Nonaya Buisness Thanks, it was 3 years ago and i didnt get in but have gone on to perform in other shows x
Congratulations! A while back, but I'm so pleased you got those wonderful opportunities.
Same
“And what was just a world is a star” WORLDSTAR
Maria and Tony are a very good couple
***** really? Why?
+Bubblybradley technically it's questions
+Laura Bos because apparently Natalie wood was a drama queen and she thought Richard Beymer was not a good enough dancer and singer
Eugenia EasilyObsess really? oh wow.
thanks for answering!
Laura Bos no prob. apparently I'm getting judged by someone named bookworm cause I'm telling the truth
This will always be my favorite musical of all time. Then My Fair Lady...
It's Audrey Hepburn & Rex Harrison
2:05 oh, it's such a delicate and reverent moment when he kisses her hand
Watching the Fresh Prince of Bel Air
Will: Carlton if you get in the car right now I promise we can sing the theme to Westside Story you can be Maria 😂😂😂😂
The only regret I have is, why the "good night, good night sleep well and when you dream, dream of me" part is cut out?
I just saw the the 2021 trailer and decided it was time to revisit this masterpice
i always loved Bernsteins music, he was a real good composer and musician too! Natalie did not sang in this movie, but she was an good actress who died too young... May Natalie and Leo rest in peace
So schön ,so voller Liebe ein Song der an die Herzen geht !
"Be quiet, my parents will hear you!" *starts singing a duet at full voice 😂
Watched this with my Me-maw, never gets old ❤
i love musicals i wish i could talk to other people that have the passion for musicals and movies like me????? do want to play movie triva with me lol

Count me in
i defenetly need to watch more, they're so magical
Maria and Tony singing st the top of their lungs with full orchestra. That won't wake papa. Well it is a musical.😂❤
I'm a 30 year old man, tatted up, welder and I cry every single time
That's okay. I cry every time I watch this movie.
I think I saw you in the Village People.
Only you, you're the only thing I'll see forever
In my eyes in my words and in everything I do
Nothing else but you
Ever
あなただけ、これからはずっとあなただけを見つめていくわ
何を見ても、何を語っても、何をしても
そこにいるのはあなただけ
TONY
And there's nothing for me but Maria
Every sight that I see is Maria
ぼくには君が全てだ、マリア
目に映るものは全てがマリア
MARIA
Tony, Tony
トニー、トニー
TONY
Always you, every thought I'll ever know
Everywhere I go you'll be
全ての想いに、全ての場所に
いつも君の姿がある
TONY & MARIA
All the world is only you and me
この世界には君とぼく（あなたと私）しかいない
MARIA
Tonight, tonight
It all began tonight
I saw you and the world went away
今宵、今宵
今宵、全てが始まった
あなたに会って、あなたの姿しか見えなくなった
Tonight, tonight
There's only you tonight
What you are, what you do, what you say
今宵、今宵
今宵、あなただけがいる
あなたの姿、あなたの仕草、あなたの言葉
TONY
Today, all day I had the feeling
A miracle would happen
I know now I was right
今日は一日中、
何か奇跡が起こる予感がしていた
今、それが本当だと分かったんだ
TONY & MARIA
For here you are
And what was just a world is a star
Tonight
なぜって、君が目の前に居るからさ
（なぜって、あなたが目の前に居るからよ）
そして、今宵
色あせていた世界が輝く星に変わる
Tonight, tonight
The world is full of light
With suns and moons all over the place
今宵、今宵
世界は光に溢れている
周りは全て太陽と月が輝いている
Tonight, tonight
The world is wild and bright
Going mad
Shooting sparks into space
今宵、今宵
世界は燃えるように輝いて
激しく火花を散らしている
Today, the world was just an address
A place for me to live in
No better than all right
今日までは、世界はただの住所
ぼくに（私に）とっては暮らしていく場所
ただそれだけの場所だった
But here you are
And what was just a world is a star
Tonight
でも、今は君が（あなたが）いる
そして、今宵
色あせていた世界が輝く星に変わる
Good night, good night
Sleep well and when you dream
Dream of me
Tonight
おやすみ、おやすみ
ぐっすり眠ってね
そして今宵、夢をみるなら
ぼくの夢をみておくれ
（私の夢をみてちょうだい）
Richard Beymer is such a wholesome and lovable Tony … it makes so much sense why Maria falls for him in this version. Ansel Elgort, on the other hand, just plays Tony as an absolute creep.
Original is good, but Remake is okay
Both of them are so very beautiful ❤
Funny thing is, they don't even kiss and I still feel the feeeeeelllsssss
