West Side Story - How Music Creates Racial Tension

[napmcdonald]

Hi everybody - I'm new to this but I made a video I wanted to share with you all. It's on the music of West Side Story, and how it's composed to create a lot of racial tension between the Jets and the Sharks - I thought you might like it  

I might do some other musicals in the future, but this one's definitely my favourite!

Great. Love analysis like this.
Definitely scope for one on Groundhog Day.

Wow! Shivers down my spine.

Thank you for this. I LOVE West Side Story.

It was the first musical that I fell in love with at school and set me on my journey of musical theatre appreciation.
