West Side Story | Behind-the-scenes featurette

Go behind the scenes on the upcoming West Side Story movie ahead of its world premiere next month!

Just saw this movie. I didn't think anything to come close to the original West Side Story but this remake was SPECTACULAR Rachel Zegler has the voice of an angel! And putting Rita Moreno in the move was a stroke of pure genius! And yes, I cried my eyes out....

I literally just saw the movie in theaters! It was so good! At the end I was sobbing so hard that you could hear it over the movie and my friend who never ever cries over movies cried too! The original will always be a classical masterpiece but I can say whole heartedly this is the best remake ever.

I'm soooo excited. My mother (who was at the premier of the 1961 version, in New York), and I are headed to the theater in about 20 minutes... to see the new version. Mommy was 20 years old, in 1961. She's just weeks away from turning 81, and here we are- going to see the new version, together. I'm so blessed to have this experience with her.

Can't wait for this...no doubt there will be a dedication to the late, great Steven Sondheim in the end credits. I hope so, anyway.

I can't wait!! I'm so happy Mike Faist is preforming in this, he was incredible in Dear Evan Hansen and Newsies. This is going to be amazing

My mom and I saw WSS on Sunday and really enjoyed it! I loved the “Cool, ” Number where Tony was singing it with Riff!! Neat twist I wasn’t expecting! And the “Tonight, ” Number holy smokes hat was good! The dancing was incredible as well!!

I just love how happy Stephen Spielberg is about this film. Im so happy for him.

[samosullivan]

Having Rita Moreno sing Somewhere is undoubtedly the best choice Spielberg made on this film!

[marlenedrake]

I saw this on stage in London in the early 1960, s it tore at my heart strings then and this production as made me feel the same all over again.

OMG! This must be beautiful! Can't wait to see it with this new twist, done by none other than the geniuses of Spielberg. I first saw this live on stage in 1985.

[marianarabelo]

It’s gonna be a masterpiece I just know it

[auliameizahra]

[gabrielleclennon]

I am so ready for this and so is my body

Rachel, Ansel and WSS cast come at me my children!!

[DontDoSadness]

Can't wait! Rest easy Stephen Sondheim 🥺❤

Superb film! Gripping, moving, the actors are perfect and act in a passionate way, dancers are superb. In my opinion, Spielberg´s Masterpiece, in a different genre than the one we're used to see him direct. I highlly recommend it! 👏👏👏👏

[hay_bail]

This is my dream Everything about it has my whole heart ♥️
