West Side Story Wins!

The Grammy, that is. The cast album won Best Musical Show Album, according to Broadwayworld.com.

The revival is great, and stars Tony nominee (and Argentinian goddess of the high note) Josefina Scaglione, Tony winner Karen Olivo (her new album will be out any day now!), and Matt Cavenaugh (before he left in December). If you're in New York, I highly reccomend checking out the Tony/Grammy winning production directed by the play's librettist, 91 year old Arthur Laurents.

If not, check out the soundtrack on iTunes/amazon.com! It's great. It's just impossible to get tired of Matt, Josefina, and Karen's voices.

Have you seen the show or listened to the new cast album? Love the movie? Love another Broadway show? Please, do share in the comments!

  1. I will say that the rendition of America is my favourite yet.

  2. Karen Olivo certainly is something fierce on the Broadway stage.
