West Side Story

On a much lighter note, Lewis and I went to see West Side Story! Our friend Nancy was one of the dancers for the Sharks' side and she was adorable as Teresita! Lewis's co-worker, Blake was also in it and played Officer Krupke well, too. I loved the set that the UCI arts department put up. The singing and dancing was strong. I think the female leads were my favorites, singing wise. I was slightly giddy watching the cast dance, it was so fun to watch. The costumes, the girls' mostly, were really cute.

I completely forgot how the plot of West Side Story went after "Tonight". I was shocked that Bernardo died because Tony stabbed him! Kind of saw Tony being shot coming, but did not expect that actual sound of a gun shot going off during the performance. I teared up a few times through out the play. Really makes me want to go see more shows. Always a treat to go to them.

Nancy was awesome! "Aiyahhhh", hilarious.
