Fabulous! - West Side Story review by EW

Spoiler Alert
06/12/2019

Some of the best dancing I have seen on TV (and yes, I am a fan of SCD!)

Vibrant, non-stop, edgy, dramatic take on Romeo & Juliet - if you haven't seen this original version, than you are missing out.

Go retro - you won't be disappointed
