West Side Story
About
Steven Spielberg's 2021 remake of West Side Story is the next offering from the Villages Music Festival at 7.30pm on Friday 17th February at Ripe Village Hall; doors open at 7pm for refreshments.The film won Mr Spielberg his first Golden Globe Award for Best Comedy/Musical; the Guardian called it "a vividly dreamed, cunningly modified and visually staggering revival".
"Though one of the most famous directors on the planet, Steven Spielberg has never “done” a musical. Here, he remakes one of the most stirring examples of the genre (the 1957 show, which in turn inspired the Oscar-guzzling 1961 film). Far from falling on his face, the 74 year old lands on his feet. The big show off."
