Girls, I Am Telling You, Here And Now, Anybody's Is Not A Lesbian!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                            One thing I will say for her character--she is fascinating, and I always wondered what the theatrical significance  of her being in "West Side Story" was.  Comic relief, maybe???????

                              There is a line where one of the Jet says to her, "Aaah, go walk the streets, like your sister."  This infers that the sister is a prostitute, and that Anybody's, whose name suggests she belongs to the streets, will become one, as soon as her feminine hormones kick in.

                                For now, they haven't so, she is running around, a Jets wannabe.

                                She may be butcher than Baby John, but I am telling you, in the fifty or more years I have been exposed to "West Side Story," I never thought of this character as a lesbian, or in terms of sexual orientation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                  Well, if what I am about to report happens--all that will change!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                   Steven Spielberg, with Tony Kushner at the writing helm, is planning to remake "West Side Story.!"

                                     Not only to remake it, but to take it out of its time and context, updating it to today.

                                      Which means, forget the title, because the Upper West Side is now a mecca for the wealthy!

                                         Will the beloved Jerome Robbins' choreography be jettisoned????????

                                          What about the Bernstein score and Sondheim lyrics?  How horribly are they going to be re-interpreted?  And how can Sondheim, the only member of the original creative team still alive, not counting Harold Prince, allow such a thing?

                                            Of course, with Kushner, Baby John will be gay, and Anybody's will be a lesbian??????????????????

                                            Forget about timeless romance, balletic artistry, and the tragedy of young love.

                                            "West Side Story" will now become "Worst Side Story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

                                                All the originals must be turning in their graves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
