Musical conductor Gustavo Dudamel handles the Bernstein score as if he had been conducting “Mambo” and others most of his career. It’s a pleasure to see what these artists and these performers have done to open it up without splitting its seams. “West Side Story” always has been a singular mashup: a Shakespeare riff, a ballet disguised as a conventional book musical, fantastic, naturalistic, all at once. If their part of the storyline putters here and there near the end, well, I’ve yet to see a “West Side Story” or a “Romeo and Juliet” on stage or screen that didn’t feel a little like that. Kushner’s dialogue is sincere and just tart enough to make us buy the connection being made. Crucially, the love-at-first-sight meeting between Tony and Maria (Rachel Zegler, really good, opposite Elgort’s pretty-good Tony) takes place in the shadows of the bleachers. The dance at the gym, including the lead-in and the outro, is a thing of combustible beauty, propelled by one dynamic, extended visual composition after another. But they are who they are, separately and together, because they look ahead while assessing what worked the first time with this material. This never felt like ideal placement, even within the Cruel Irony subset of Broadway standards. It’s back where it was in the original Broadway incarnation, just after the death of one of the characters (we’ll keep it vague for newcomers here). Also, “I Feel Pretty” has been transformed into a gently mocking department store routine, no longer where it was in the ‘61 film.
