The Orphans were Awesome Especially their Dancing in A Hard Knock Life. Titus Nicole Harry were great. Taraji had her moments. Choreography was fantastic. Celina’s acting was fine her Tomorrow one of my favorite all time songs was a great disappointed.

No Surprise Spielberg Nailed it. It was this cast headed by Rachel Ziegler and Ansel Elgort Are in every way their acting the singing much superior to the original movie. Ariana DeBose filling the shoes of the best supporting actress performance of Rita Moreno as Anita in the original movie was more than up to the task. Moving Anita into to the 21st century so her character will resonate with todays audience. Emancipated Earthier Bolder! She should be an Oscar nominee. Even the dancing measured up which I didn’t expect without the taskmaster Jerome Robbins. Using his Legendary Choreography is one thing but just the beginning. Justin Peck finished the task in this production and made it happen. The Genius of casting the now 90 year old Rita Moreno who should win an Oscar once again in her reimagined role of the drug store owner. Her character provides the guiding light that was never able to keep the lost souls on the right path. She was given the heart wrenching song Somewhere to perform in this production. And the sobs were coming from everywhere. I believe this to be the best movie of a Broadway Musical ever.
