Reviews

UK Theatre Web: 16Aug01:
I caught West Side in Bath and must say I thought it was a very slick performance. Ben Wheeler did a brilliant job as 'Action' as did Emma Clifford in the role of 'Anita'. The dancing was strong, though 'Tony' was a trifal weak vocally, I would be interested to see Ben Wheeler as a Tony cover.
