“What the Hell was *that* ?!” What a great 4th Wall break. I always wondered what happened during “the time” of a song in a musical. Time just “freezes”-always was strange during a musical.

As a music teacher, I show West Side Story to my 7th graders each year, and explain why musicals have music and dance in them, when it completely defies reality. Music and dance are merely exclamation points in a musical drama. You never actually need an exclamation point. Exclamation points never change the grammar of a sentence, but they sure as hell change the ATMOSPHERE of a sentence, perhaps to drive home the message. All musicals are surreal - every one of them. My students always love West Side Story despite the surreality, and they're always devastated at the end. They agree that the impact wouldn't be there without the music and dance. I then immediately show them this sketch and we all laugh the hardest that we ever do all year. As soon as Norm says "What the hell was that?" the first time, we lose it. It reminds us how weird musicals are, even if we enjoy them.

Yes, so well said. We take it for granted that there will be musical numbers, regardless of how absurd it is for a specific character. This sketch is perfect for its ability to examine our unquestioned assumptions.

I taught choir and guitar for 6 years. West side story is my all time favorite musical since I was a kid. It was my “substitute” movie when I taught. How did I JUST TONIGHT find this sketch by totally accident? Has anyone else seen the Cher version where she does all the characters?

This was many years after he was a cast member. He was 20 when he was in the cast, in his early 30's here. He definitely wasn't the worst cast member during the run of the show, been watching since the late 70's. His & Michael Hall's sense of humor didn't mess with Dennis Miller's, etc. Just bad chemistry.
