My sister just sent me MTV Video Music Awards “VMA Side Story” trailer. If the West Side Story currently on Broadway was 1/100th as accessible as this, we’d really have ourselves a revival. Wait through the little ad and then watch:
MTV Shows
I don’t know how they got the rights to the song, the logo, or the poster font, but I want to have this thing’s babies and will definitely watch the VMAs to see if there’s more. First time for everything. September 13th at 9pm.
Poison performs at the Tonys and MTV is running a West Side Story promotion? Am I getting cooler or has the whole world gone nerd?
I’d like to think it’s a combination – being geeky is somehow cool??? I mean if you think about it, many artists got their start singing/dancing/etc in high school musicals, and how many of those were West Side Story? It’s like a collective secret fantasy realized on MTV.
PS the Captcha on this comment includes “tightest.” Appropriately amusing.
