Autumn Edits #1

Currently eating kielbasa and Mac and cheese whilst watching White Christmas like we do every year. Am I the only one who isn't ready for Christmas this year????

I like to be in America!

Even though I don't watch the television show, Glee, I do however watch the performances of some songs and they recently performed songs from West Side Story. So I decided to head over to Youtube and watch the original movie from 1961 to see how their performances matched up. The songs Glee did from WSS are:  Tonight, Something's Coming, Somewhere, A Boy Like That, & America.

Below, I screencapped characters from West Side Story and the characters who played them on Glee.

Richard Beymer and Natalie Wood as Tony & Maria

Darren Criss & Lea Michele (playing Blaine & Rachel) as Tony & Maria

George Chakiris as Bernardo

Mark Salling (as Puck) playing Bernardo

Rita Moreno as Anita

Naya Rivera (as Santana Lopez) as Anita

William Bramley as Officer Krupke

Chris Colfer (as Kurt Hummel) playing Officer Krupke

Russ Tamblyn as Riff

Harry Shum Jr. (as Mike Chang) playing Riff

    

The original America scene from West Side Story (1961)

The America scene from Glee (2011)

50 years later, while the actors are different, the songs and performances are still flawless and are still classically executed.

Well done, Glee.
