Salut à tous,
Je dois présenter brièvement ce qu'est West Side Story pour mon cours d'anglais.
Je vous prie de m'aider en corrigeant les fautes de grammaire ou d'orthographe du texte.
Merci d'avance.
Created in Broadway in 1957, West Side Story is an American musical comedy, in fact a transposition of Shakespeare's famous tragedy "Romeo and Juliet" in Manhattan during the 1950's. That is why West Side Story is also called "musical tragedy". On the one hand, the tragic predominates because the death triumphs over loves and the two main characters, Tony and Maria finally die at the end. On the other hand it's obviously a musical because there is singing and dancing but the West Side Story creators : Jerome Robbins, Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim didn't want to leave off there : they operate a revolution concerning the form. Indeed, singing and dancing are deeply associated since the dance passages have a part in the narration whereas before, dancing passages were a sort of time out in the narration. As a matter of fact, West Side Story prefigures the modern musical comedies. But we have to get back on what the musical relates, what is the history of West Side Story. To sum up, the history takes place in Manhattan during the 1950's. Two gangs, two rival youth gangs fight over the control of a particular area of Manhattan. Wheras the Jets led by Riff (the white gang) were born in Irish, Polish or Italian families, the Sharks led by Bernardo come from Porto Rico. The situation collapses in no time when Tony, one of the Jets falls in love with Maria, the sister of Bernardo. Their love is going unfortunately to be under, to suffer the Gangs rivalry and even lead them to the death. To conclude, this musical was and is always nowadays a success. Despite the fact that the dialogues were getting old, became outmoded, West Side Story keeps a resonance amongst the young people because some topics like rebelliousness, rage, authority, violence or racism concerns young people. Furthermore, sealing the success of the musical, West Side Story spawned a motion picture in 1961 which won ten Oscars in 1992.
