consecutive weeks.photos of a dance student and

management has issued a state-
ment backing him.
ramasar makes for an elegant
ruffian, if not an entirely stellar
Bernardo. Like Ayala’s Anita and
Dharon E. Jones’s riff, this is a
polished performance, but not
the standout turn of some other
versions. Bernstein’s melodies
and Sondheim’s lyrics for “West
Side Story” remain nonpareil,
some of the most lushly soul-stir-
ring theater music ever written.
The voices here in some cases
come across as merely adequate,
though the rage-fueled rethink of
“Gee, officer Krupke” i s excellent-
ly accommodated by the actors’
rugged vocal delivery.
Beauty is reserved here for the
sounds emanating from Piment-
el’s captivating maria and the
extraordinary rendition of “ma-
ria” that Powell performs. I’ve
never before believed so fervidly
that To ny has found the girl with
whom he was meant to be. In
streamlining the script and find-
ing his To ny and maria, van Hove
has, like an artist with a degree in
cardiology, operated on “West
Side Story” and freshly exposed
its passionate, throbbing heart.

adrenaline-drenched Jets set
upon Anita and sexually assault
her. After Doc rushes in to stop
them, the camera catches the
youngest Jet, Baby John (mat-
thew Johnson), curled up in a
fetal position in a corner. An
audience accustomed to violence
captured in close-up absorbs the
shock of the act as a sad fact of
modern life. That the show itself
has become embroiled in contro-
versy over an alleged sexual trans-
gression makes the moment all
the more intense: Demonstra-
tions have been organized out-
side the theater at some perfor-
mances in protest of the casting
of New York City Ballet star Amar
ramasar as Bernardo. In 2018, he
was accused of receiving explicitma converges mesmerizingly
with the representational schema
of the stage.
The expository scenes occur in
prop-filled cubicles upstage, in
the dress shop where maria and
Anita (Yesenia Ayala) work and in
the candy store operated by Doc,
here played with an ideal, impo-
tent exasperation by Daniel
oreskes. The cubicles function
like portals between the stage and
filmed action: Actors with video
cameras follow their castmates
into obscured corners of these
spaces, and audiences must shift
to the screen to see everything
that’s happening.
This becomes crucial in the
upsetting scene in Doc’s store, in
which the grief-stricken andPimentel. Spectacular, too, are De
Keersmaeker’s resetting of the
dance at the gym and the pro-
logue, which commences with
dancers executing a unison sway
— adolescent swagger as perfor-
mance art — in which the Sharks
and the Jets size up one another
for the slaughter to come.
And, whoa, when violence
erupts in the fateful rumble by
the highway! Van Hove and De
Keersmaeker conceive of it as a
full-blown storm of rainwater
and testosterone, on a bare,
soaked stage. As the Jets of yore
themselves might say, “Wham-
mo! Blammo!” Possibly even bet-
ter is the aftermath: With the
bodies of dead and wounded men
strewn across the concrete battle-
field, their women arriving to
claim or comfort them, you’re
reminded of the bloody tidings of
“Henry V” and the killing field of
Agincourt.
I’d heard reports from others
during the long previewing peri-
od for “West Side Story” — where
performances began Dec. 10 and
its official opening night was held
Thursday — that the production’s
prominent cinematic conceit was
a hindrance to narrative coher-
ence. maybe because I’ve grown
accustomed to video as a theater
tool, it didn’t seem a distraction.
In any event, as he has proved in
productions like his stage adapta-
tion of “Network,” van Hove is
devoted to the device, and here
it’s used brilliantly. Shots of the
actors on city streets, some of
them edited into montages, run
on that back-wall screen as the
characters execute the theatrical
elements of “West Side Story” on
the minimally adorned set by
scenery and lighting designer Jan
Versweyveld. The realism of cine-
