| The Baltimore Lyric Opera House’s production of West Side Story was an array of contradictions -- it showcased some magnificent talents, and some painfully bad casting. It exuded some vocal genius, and some incoherent skreetching, and it had some smooth choreography, and some stuff that resembled my 8th grade production of “Grease”, where the kid on the end was doing a completely different dance than the rest of us. |
