[@pillarobert]

That's amazing for a High School performance! Great talents!!

Yeah honestly it's impressive and it's very well shot too.

[@darkangelw8472]

So true

[@yogadr6]

Where is the balanced critical review?? Right here: pretty good (pun intended); a tad forced, rushed, and unnatural. There's a reason film directors take 💯 takes....

[@leenalaverne]

@@yogadr6 it's a highschool production, not a Broadway musical.

[@erpollock]

Eliza Masewicz as Maria has a beautiful voice and perfect stage presence. She does so much with the lyric "I feel pretty". I've never heard it sung so beautifully, and so convincingly youthfully.

[@erpollock]

These Stratford productions are marvelous for a high school troupe.

[@jrmanit]

It's a very high standard high school show.! Bravo! Bravo!

[@lilyantoniam.8806]

her accent its so amazing, so is her singing,i love her lmao. i can't do that accent and i'm from latinoamerica, lol

[@bernardoMG1]

This version of María with Eliza Masewicz it's adorable and perfect. I'm sure Leonard Bernstein would love this María.

[@ona907]

They did so well! Can’t believe this is a high school production!

[@leafodan3730]

Bravo to any theatre group that performs west side story. It’s the best way to introduce modern young folk into a classic Shakespeare story.

[@yalahwey111]

What a good Maria! She could directly join broadway!

[@alexayaoihd7984]

jajaja this Maria its, adorable, crazy and good singer

[@songstressx871]

I usually hate this part but these girls interpreted it perfectly. Gave me a new perspective on the song. Just brilliant.

[@leafodan3730]

I’m so excited to see Spielberg’s remake of this masterful classic by Leonard Bernstein. And the fact he kept it in the original Bernstein time period only makes me even more ecstatic.

[@melofrenchie8717]

Such a beautiful voice!

Outstanding! Amazing talents. Better than the scene in the movie!

[@aaron_burr_sir]

What?! Is this a high school production?! I thought this is professional production... amazing quality 👏👏👏

[@nealgellaco]

The original lyric is "bright" rhyming with "tonight". They changed it to "gay" (rhyming with "day") to match the setting in the movie.

[@americandreamer6092]

[@melclo3641]

Excellent, much better than the new film.

[@michaelluvu7117]

wow sooooo astonishing wow i'm amazed was the singing there voice?

[@izzypedal6371]

the performance was great, but i just feel bad that these actors were given such poor direction when it came to the accents. also... the makeup. even at the high school level, if you're going to cast people with light skin as the sharks, just keep their natural skin. it looks weird (and mildly offensive) when you try to use dark makeup. those are my only things, this was flawless otherwise! i wish they hadn't done that though, bc it just makes it hard to focus on the awesome vocals and performance with stuff like that. hope these actors are still performing, they're really good!

[@bernardoMG1]

I love this very professional (can't believe it's a high school's) version of WSS. I'm not Puerto Rican, but I'm Mexican and I found nothing "weird" nor "mildly offensive" with their accents or with the use of makeup on a musical theatrical representation (OMG! imagine that!) This version of María with Eliza Masewicz it's adorable and perfect. I'm sure Leonard Bernstein would love this María.

[@frogsandanxiety9663]

they didn't darken their skin ???

[@mayumigarcia9445]

it's my dream to play maria :(((

[@mayahjohnson6289]

calm down they took out gay because everyone would take it the wrong way. bright means exactly the same thing

[@keiko4043]

Mayah Johnson that's not why. The original stage/ broadway lyrics is "bright". They only changed the lyrics to "gay" for the movie.

[@thatoneannoyingsoprano8066]

it’s the original lyric

[@poodlemoth2478]

They changed the lyric for the movie because it originally took place during the day, while the Broadway version took place during the day, and gay rhymes with day

[@andylatino]

The didn't took out anything, those are the original lyrics from the musical.

[@tsukikage]

I thought gay meant happy?

[@zzzut]

Those are students? I don’t believe that! I should gladly pay to see a production of that quality.

[@gracenoel]

Their accents are really good

[@darkangelw8472]

MARIA I feel pretty, Oh, so pretty, I feel pretty and witty and bright, And I pity Any girl who isn't me tonight. I feel charming, Oh, so charming, It's alarming how charming I feel, And so pretty That I hardly can believe I'm real. See the pretty girl in that mirror there, Who can that attractive girl be? Such a pretty face, Such a pretty dress, Such a pretty smile, Such a pretty me! I feel stunning And entrancing, Feel like running and dancing For joy, For I'm loved by a pretty wonderful boy! ROSALIA, CONSUELO Have you met my good friend Maria, The craziest girl on the block? You'll know her the minute you see her, She's the one who is in an advanced state of shock. She thinks she's in love. She thinks she's in Spain. She isn't in love, She's merely insane. It must be the heat Or some rare disease, Or too much to eat Or maybe it's fleas. Keep away from her- Send for Chino! This is not the Mar- Ia we know! Modest and pure, Polite and refined, Well-bred and mature, And out of her mind! MARIA I feel pretty, Oh, so pretty That the city should give me its key. A committee Should be organized to honor me. I feel dizzy, I feel sunny, I feel fizzy and funny and fine, And so pretty, Miss America can just resign. See the pretty girl in that mirror there! ROSALIA, CONSUELO What mirror where? MARIA Who can that attractive girl be? ROSALIA AND CONSUELO Which? What? Where? Whom? MARIA Such a pretty face, Such a pretty dress, Such a pretty smile, Such a pretty me! ALL I feel stunning And entrancing, Feel like running and dancing for joy, For I'm loved By a pretty wonderful boy!

No, in theater you get one shade darker than your own so the lights don't wash you out. her makeup is hardly darker than her
