Glad Hand is the dance chaperone at the gym social in "West Side Story". He is trying to maintain order, keep the students engaged in the dance activities, and ensure that everyone is having a good time in a controlled environment.
The Shakespearean play that inspired the hit musical West Side Story is Romeo and Juliet. West Side Story is a modern adaptation of the classic tragedy, with the story transposed to the streets of New York City and the warring families replaced by rival gangs.
Alright, you just want the names of the gangs. Tony's had been the Jets, a gang that could be considered racist. They had a rivalry with the Puerto Rican gang, the Sharks. These rivalries made it highly difficult for Tony and Maria to be together.
No, Maria does not kill herself in West Side Story like Juliet does in Romeo and Juliet. Instead, the story ends with Maria mourning the loss of her lover, Tony, who is killed in a skirmish between rival gangs.
The story of Hansel and Gretel is set in the woods near a small cottage where the children live with their father and stepmother.
Because the first gang we see in the movie is a white gang that hate the puerto ricans and start to vandalize a painting because they want them to leave their "territory" and the puerto ricans see this and want to fight them

After her role as Tuptim in The King and I!!!
The actor who terned down the leading part of Sunset Boulvard was Montgomery Cliff. William Holden took the role of the leading role in Sunset Bouvlard. This was a 1950 film.
Yes, he did. In the original play, the songs was performed by Riff before his demise and it was directed at Action, who was the second-in-command of the Jets. In the film, the song was movied to after Riff's demise. This time, the character of Ice, played by Smith, performed it. Noted that the character of Ice was not in the original Broadway play, he assumed most of Action's role in the movie version. Tucker Smith also performed the Jet's Song. Russ Tamblyn recorded his own vocals but because of contractural reasons, Smith's version was used instead.
It is a modern day Romeo and Juliet. The story of two lovers who come from enemy families (Gangs, in the case of West Side Story). It's the story of their forbidden love.
Tony and Maria don't get officially married as they pretend to in the bridal store that Maria works in and remember Tony gets killed by Chino after Anita told the Jets a lie about Maria's death!
Both the movie and the play- it never was a novel in the usual sense- glamorize crime in the streets to some sort of heroic heights. ethnic violence between whites and Puerto Ricans is in some ways the keystone of the plot. law enfrocement is shown in a somewhat negative light. N"uff said.
Tony's death and the 2 gangs working out what they'd been arguing about was a real joke!!! So they work out who they are!!!
She is Action's girlfriend in the musical, and one of the Jet ladies.
Krupke and Schrank are the police officers.
It is set in the playground near the school in New York.
spanish and english. The show is based around the feud between the whites and the Puerto Ricans.
West Side story is a musical and book by Arther Laurents based on William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet with lyrics byStephen Sondheim
In the west side story Maria and Tony fall in love with each other as do Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet can't be together because of their family's hatred, and Tony and Maria's love is impossible because of the relationships that they are both tied to with gang rivalries.
