But, yo!! Can we talk about the epic-ness that IS Debbie Allen as ‘Anita’ in the revival of ‘West Side Story’ in ‘80?
Lord…Mama went AWF!!
And when she and all the girls snatched every wig in that audience starting at 2:10, I hollered!!!
Classic.
Debbie is ALL MANNER OF FIERCENESS, personified.

I have a thing for pop covers of showtunes by the stars who introduced the songs on Broadway. Here’s Larry Kert’s pop cover of “Something’s Coming” from West Side Story.

“Tonight” from West Side Story
Music by Leonard Bernstein
Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
from Tonight and Other FavoritesThis reached number eight on the Billboard pop charts. Just sit with that for a bit.
This is Stephen Anthony, who’s currently the lead in the tour of Catch Me If You Can, which I saw this afternoon. He’s no Aaron Tveit, but on the other hand, you actually believe he’s 16 years old (which is the age of his character at the beginning of the story).
I think he does a viable “Something’s Coming” in this clip. Remember before Arthur Laurents revealed what the gimmick of the most recent West Side revival was going to be how we thought he was going to cast it with actual teenagers?
