About over a decade after the last revival, we’ll be getting a brand new Broadway production of West Side Story sometime in the 2019-20 season. The production is set to be directed by Tony winner Ivo van Hove, who’ll be collaborating with contemporary dance choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker on the new staging, marking the first major revival in America to deviate from original director Jerome Robbins’ iconic choreography.

ReplyCopy URLOctober 1, 2018 at 4:39 pm #1202644344That definitely seems possible, especially since Scott Rudin is going to be the lead producer of this revival, and he’s obviously known for attracting some exciting talent for his productions.

ReplyCopy URLFebruary 20, 2021 at 1:12 pm #1204052088^Are you ever going to shut the f*ck up about that? We get your distaste in Amar Ramasar having a major principal role on Broadway. You don’t need to keep reminding us every chance you get.
ReplyCopy URLFebruary 20, 2021 at 1:58 pm #1204052113This is the only time he’s mentioned him in this thread… are you friends with Amar Ramasar or something??
ReplyCopy URLFebruary 20, 2021 at 2:36 pm #1204052127^I don’t even know Amar Ramasar personally. And besides, I was mainly referring to Alex’s multiple posts in different threads on these forums in general. It’s perfectly understandable to have such distaste in Amar having a major role on Broadway. I just don’t think Alex needs to keep reminding us of his every chance he gets.
