Witnessing 'West Side Story' as an adaptation of my play 'Romeo and Juliet' is intriguing. The transformation of the story into a musical set in modern New York City showcases the universality and timelessness of themes like love and the consequences of rivalry. Although the characters and settings differ from my original play, the essence of the story remains. I appreciate the creativity and the attempt to make my work relevant to contemporary audiences, breathing new life into a classic tale.
