West Side Story returns to Broadway this month with a more bilingual touch.

Featured story

Bilingual, yet still contentious 'West Side Story' headed back to Broadway

Karen Olivo has a leg up as Anita in "West Side Story."
Notice to all those Jets and Sharks nostalgics counting the hours for the "West Side Story" Broadway comeback: the actors aren’t botching the words.
This time around, Maria’s "I Feel Pretty" becomes "[Me] Siento Hermosa" and Anita spits out "Un Hombre Así" instead of "A Boy Like That."
