Aprašymas

(Applause Books). Something's Coming, Something Good: West Side Story and the American Imagination takes a

critical, comprehensive look at one of the most inventive, influential, and internationally beloved Broadway

musicals of all time from its inception by a brilliant quartet of creators (Robbins, Bernstein, Sondheim, and

Laurents) to its smashing success on film, to its ongoing popularity on stages around the world and its potent

impact on the Great American Musical. Featuring intriguing chapters on West Side Story in relation to Romeo and

Juliet ; as a recording phenomenon; as a film rated the second-best movie musical of all time by the American Film

Institute; as part of a wave of juvenile delinquency dramas; as the first great choreographer-auteur musical; and

as the granddaddy of "youth musicals" such as Hair and Rent , Something's Coming, Something Good is a

revealing guide for those who have seen the show; for those who wish to study it for pleasure or inspiration; and

for actors, designers, and directors planning on producing it.
