Tonight the West Side Story company of 53 (30 actors, 13 musicians, 10 crew members) are joined by an audience for the first time. Last night was the final dress rehearsal where the final fine tuning took place. Tonight the large audience who’ve been buying tickets like crazy all day will be treated to one of the greatest musicals of all time. The soaring score, gigantic set (wait until you see the work of our scenic graffiti artists) and well over 100 costumes all adds up to a stunning production . . . and the debut of Charleston Stage’s Professional Resident Acting Company—wait until you hear their amazing voices, all supported by our live West Side Story orchestra and a terrific ensemble of singers and dancers and Aaron Velthouse, our guest “Tony”. “Something’s coming”! Something amazing!
