The legendary musical West Side Story has been transformed in a daring new Broadway revival from director Ivo Van Hove
Visionary director and Tony winner Ivo Van Hove has completely transformed Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim’s legendary 1957 musical for its new Broadway revival, which opened at New York City’s Broadway Theatre Thursday night.
But the biggest difference of all is the production’s use of video. In place of a tradition set is a giant floor-to-ceiling screen on which close-ups of dance numbers, off-stage book scenes, and in some cases, pre-recorded images and montages are all projected. The video design, by Luke Halls, makes it a mixed media experience for the audience, and from the jump lets them know what they’re about to see isn’t what they’ve seen before.
