"Ballsy, brilliant and breathtaking"

It takes brilliance and balls to pull off the reinvention of a musical theater classic, particularly one as renowned for its iconic choreography as for its book, music, and lyrics, but this is precisely what director Richard Israel and choreographer John Todd have accomplished in the brilliant, ballsy West Side Story they have mounted for The La Mirada Theatre and McCoy Rigby Entertainment … Ballsy and brilliant and breathtaking in equal measure, La Mirada Theatre and McCoy Rigby Entertainment’s West Side Story more than justifies its catchphrase “The Most Acclaimed Musical Of All Time.” You won’t see a more sensational locally-produced musical this year.
