Name: Bernstein Sondheim "How Long Does It Take" Original "West Side Story" Opening by jonthesSC
Duration: 6 min 1 s
Description: From a Library of Congress concert celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the opening of "West Side Story", the original opening with full lyrics. Wisely cut as they sound very dated now, even corny, as a lot of period slang does a half a century later. Don't have the information on the performers and pianist, anyone wishing to add it please do.

OMG.......what a terrible opening of WSS that would have been. Right decision to dump it.

this is the National Choral from a concert in the 80s.

Stephen Paul Cramer, Eleasha Gamble, James Gardiner, Will Gartshore, Tracy Lynn Olivera with John Kalbfleisch on piano
