West Side Story at La Scala
 Click on the above image to view it full-size. "WEST SIDE STORY finally at La Scala!" wrote the Italian newspaper La Stampa. Last July the historic Teatro alla Scala Opera House presented eighteen sold-out performances of WEST SIDE STORY. This mostly American cast was directed by Joey McKneely. Donald Chan conducted, adding even more performances of WSS to the over one thousand he has already done. The Italians welcomed it as part of the standard repetoire. Here is what some of the critics had to say: "WEST SIDE STORY astonishes La Scala." -- Corriere Della Sera "[WEST SIDE STORY] miracle in Milan." -- La Repubblica "[WEST SIDE STORY] lives again in its splendor." -- Il Giorno "The evening ended in triumph." -- Avvenire "WEST SIDE STORY a success in Milan, with an excellent company." -- Famiglia Cristiana LA SCALA CAST
