A tour-de-force film show, clocking in at 152 minutes. None of these wonders can prepare you for the mind-numbing, emotional, climax. And the dancing, of course, is peerless- whether it's the "Cool" dance with the Jets in a low-ceiling garage, the "America" battle of the sexes with the Sharks, or even the delicate rooftop dance performed in Act 2 by Natalie Wood- bewitching in a white dress and re-living the moment she first fell in love herself. Carmen Cusack: If You Knew My Story Live at Feinstein's/54 Below - Carmen Cusack s debut album is brimming with the deeply emotional stories and songs that brought her to Broadway. Some songs are reshuffled and re-staged from the original libretto, and the background score is given something of a theatrical makeover. Sheet music arranged for Piano/Vocal/Chords, and Singer Pro in G Major.

There are, of course, stage purists who scoff at the movie (and its many ghost singers), but I always thought the film's adaptation was superior to the stage show because it gave the story a more breathless, one-act pace. Print and download If You Knew My Story sheet music by Carmen Cusack. It has a gorgeous restored picture (important for visual effects like the dissolve of Natalie Wood spinning around in the bridal shop which blurs and multiplies and finally erupts into multiple dancers who converge at the gym, or the first time Tony and Maria see each other against the blur of the dance competition on opposite sides of the screen) and pristine sound- probably the most gorgeous score ever composed by Leonard Bernstein. Ghostlight Records recently released the original cast recording of Bright Star, the new musical from Grammy and Emmy Award winner Steve Martin and Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Edie Brickell. So let me just say that the smartest thing MGM-UA could do is present a widescreen, 70mm DVD.
I only saw it in the theater once when I was about 12, and had forgotten many visuals which were cut off on the television screen. After being beefed up with commercials, it had to be shown in 2 parts over two nights. I remember when this film ran on NBC television about 25 years ago.
