BAOS THE PRODUCTION T EAM I was born jU)ol after the Secont.! \Vorld \Var. What is clear to me is bo\\ the must important moments in history that I have seen nrc now largely forgotten. Society's forget.fulness Illa) aroll~c in me c;onSlCrnaOQn, even anger, but, on reflection, perhaps the past should bt- left to lie. For if the new gener.ltion knows nothing of fascism, anti Se mitism, r.lasm. the threat of me Bomb, a world dividc:d ber\\cen ::,upe rr ower~ who could destroy us all in four minutes by the macho pressi ng of a button, is this a bad thing? Yet this is the world \\e rc\;sit in " 'vV~l Side Story". Doc is a J€'\\ \\ hose family has been decimatcd by Nazism. His attitude towards \ iolence is against a background of gas chamhers and inhumanity. "You make thi" world IOllsy!" he says and Action replies "That's the way \\t!' found it, Doc",. In the hlstory or mankind. can that ~talcm(.:nt eyer ha\·c been truer than in the J 950 .. ? Bitler experience, rna) lead Action and hi ... Cello\\ JNS rrom gang culture to build a world \\ hic:h is a betler "place for us". Hatred of ~ group i .. hatred of all the many indh'iduals within that grCllIp and when you came dO\\11 to it, person by persoll, you cannot not really hate in that way, At the end of the piece, Maria, in ht!r grief, cr i~ :. out that she has now learnt to hate; but it is 111\' belief that she cannot, Wc ha\(' put a lot of thought, efforrand lime into this production. We have drawn music from tht' gods and dance from the devil. 'We have principals to .,woon over and a chorus to marn:1 at. \Vc knO\\ it is good, As WiUI c\'cry work of art, some part of eadl of our souls is tht!re. \Ve want you to leave some part of your SQuL behind you as recompensc. If you arc in tear:., \\ e ha\c our !'eward. If not, we only ask that you tr(,d.d sorlly because you lread 011 our dreams! I alll delighted to be directing \Vest Side tory as my first main produ(·tion for BAO, , Pre\ ious productions I ha\'c directed include "AlIo, Allo!", "The Ghost Train", "Kiss Me Kate" and "Irene", Pans that I have played in the past indude Gerald in "Me and My Girl", :'-1a.t'h,lIl LJl'troit in '"Guys and DoLls", Fagin in "Oli.\'t:'r!" and Herod in "Rock Nath;t')·.. , A VIEW FROM THE PIT-TIM READER (MUSICAL DIRECTOR) ''No ordinary musical ' !rcst 5iJe Swry is lhe finest Illll ... k:a.i e,'er written, Leonard Bernstein is a 'DI ··· , ~ Hyperbole? When I heard people say such things, I used to think so. BUl increasing familiarity with the work For the musically curious, Ibten OUt for the interwcaving of th{'me~ and melodies most on:-rtl) nidt:nt in the exhilarating Act 1 fina.lt.·, 'Tonight (Quimet)'. and more subtly in places such as till: Halcon) Scene when the Fn'nc'h horn forc .. hado\\\ 'Som('\\h(!rc' under Tony's 'Tonight' reprise.

And the Musical Director':; highlights? Contenders \\ ould ha\.e to be the inventive percussion and rhythmical writing of 'COQr, the big band cxubNance 01 'Dance at the Gym'. Tony's high B /lat in 'Maria' (which we proudly present to you in this production - many performers opt to sing the alternative, lower ,ers.iun) or the hreathles .. longing of 'Something's Coming', But the mo~t powerful of all has to be the ~hO\\'5 IInal song, the frenzied then serene' A Boy Like Thatl I J-IJ,·e.1 Love'. As his brother Burton said of Ikrn<;'tein, 'He welcomed the 3\·ant-g.1I"d(', bUI he t:hcrhhed the pristine, lovely tunc the simplE' "l')ng.' Th('fe's nothing more arn:sting in this ~ho\, than lhe Simplicity of lhi .. final duet, together with ir."i immutable message: 'your lm'e is ),our life'. All this greal music; it sta.nds indcp(,ndcntly even before you witness it al ongside the drama and choreograph)· (that I can impartia.lly o;ay is rabulous in this production). Tha['s what makc!I West Side Srory tTul} great: the synthesis of the);e arts, ':lI1d the collaboration of its co-creator!.. That'!\ "hy it endures. That's why it1s a ,\ork of a genius.
